Hi to everyone,

Every now and then, but more often than not, my system (RedHat 7.2 on a=20
TP600, RAM 128MB) automatically performs an 'updatedb'. The process =
takes=20
several minutes, time during which every other task is being reduced to=20
near zero speed. At times, it is becoming very annoying.=20

I wonder if I could modify something in my config so that 'updatedb' is=20
not being performed automatically. Could someone tell me something about =

it, and, also, what problems could possibly be occur following such a=20
change ?

With my other computer (running on RH 6.0), I don't have this automatic=20
launching of 'updatedb'. True enough, I don't use 'pan' on that one, and =

I am under the impression that the calls on 'updatedb' could possibly be =

launched by this software.

Thanks in advance for any hint,

Bernard DEBREIL
