Só pra registrar... as ferramentas locate/updatedb fazem parte do pacote findutils do GNU e, portanto, podem ser disponibilizadas em qualquer UNIX. Veja a introdução do manual da versão 4.1 deste pacote:
This manual shows how to find files that meet criteria you specify, and how to perform various actions on the files that you find. The principal programs that you use to perform these tasks are ""find',""locate', and `xargs'. Some of the examples in this manual use capabilities specific to the GNU versions of those programs. GNU `find' was originally written by Eric Decker, with enhancements by David MacKenzie, Jay Plett, and Tim Wood. GNU `xargs' was originally written by Mike Rendell, with enhancements by David MacKenzie. GNU `locate' and its associated utilities were originally written by James Woods, with enhancements by David MacKenzie. The idea for `find -print0' and `xargs -0' came from Dan Bernstein. Many other people have contributed bug fixes, small improvements, and helpful suggestions. Thanks!
