Wolfgang Rohdewald writes:
When running updatedb from crontab, it starts in the corresponding home
directory, e.g. /root. If /root has 0700 permissions, and if updatedb changes
to $NETUSER, it has no permission on the current directory, hence a 'no
permission' error.
The bug fix is:
wr:/usr/bin# diff -u updatedb updatedb.new
--- updatedb 2004-06-29 14:14:35.000000000 +0200
