I did an "updatedb" as you suggested.
[root@blah /var/qmail/alias]# locate hall
/home/thall/Maildir
/home/thall/Maildir/tmp
/home/thall/Maildir/new
/home/thall/Maildir/cur
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-terry:hall
[root@blah /var/qmail/alias]# ls -l
total 0
Just because the file starts with a "." shouldn't be a reason for me not to
see it when I do a "dir". Whatcha think?

: Does "locate them" mean "use the locate command to find the file"? If so
: then your file is gone and you have a old locate db. Try "updatedb" and
: then locate will stop giving you misleading answers.
