I've discovered that adding '/windows' to the UPDATEDB_PRUNEPATHS variable through the YaST Editor for Sysconfig Files has no effect on the contents of the output of locate. IOW, after I change the setting and run updatedb as root, I still get a listing of what's under /windows.
Of course. Those variables are only used by the cron task that runs updatedb daily - if you issue the command "updatedb" as root, it runs without parameters and will search all mounted disks accessible to root. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
