/etc/locate.rc default PRUNEPATHS
Wouldn't it be 'more secure' if /root was added to PRUNEPATHS in
/etc/locate.rc? I realize that if the /etc/weekly is ran, then /root is not
scanned due to /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb being ran as nobody.
My thinking is that root/priv user might run locate.updatedb and forget to
include the command line options to skip /root. Having /root in PRUNEPATHS
as the default would nullify this.
