I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and I'm trying to use locate so I ran locate.updatedb as root. I killed it as soon as I saw this message:
Is there a best practice that applies here? Is there a specific user I should run this as? I could create a user whose sole purpose is to run this but I don't want to devise my own methods until I know there's not some better way. I've been Googling but unable to find the answer. Thanks.
Code:
>>> WARNING
>>> Executing updatedb as root. This WILL reveal all filenames
>>> on your machine to all login users, which is a security risk.
