howdy. after i updated slocate to the most recent version (2.7-r2), i started having this problem. i added myself to the slocate group, yet i still cannot use slocate as a regular user. as it turns out, i cannot access ANY file that has slocate group permissions (ex. root:slocate x660). what's the deal here? thanks.

Whoops, sorry, missed that. Have you logged out/in again to pick up the new group? If you type
