I would expect that "slocate -u" and "updatedb" to be one and the same,
but give the "updatedb" command a try and see if that solves it.

Hi gang
I've discovered one of my RHEL AS3 machines doesn't locate at all.
Whenever I run locate, it doesn't return anything regardless of what
I search for.
I ran slocate -u to try and rebuild the slocate.db file. It took
quite a while but it finished. The locate still didn't happen. I
even tried to specify the slocate.db in the arguments with -d and it
still returned nothing even though the slocate.db file is quite large.
What am I missing here?
