'slocate' is the command that you usually find named 'locate' on a Linux 
system. It's just a secure version of the original 'locate' command. 

[eric@elap html]$ which locate
/usr/bin/locate
[eric@elap html]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/locate
slocate-2.6-5mdk
[eric@elap html]$ which slocate
/usr/bin/slocate
[eric@elap html]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/slocate
slocate-2.6-5mdk
[eric@elap html]$ ls -li /usr/bin/locate
 321572 -rwxr-sr-x    2 root     slocate     28120 Jul 17 10:39 
/usr/bin/locate*
[eric@elap html]$ ls -li /usr/bin/slocate
 321572 -rwxr-sr-x    2 root     slocate     28120 Jul 17 10:39 
/usr/bin/slocate*

Same inode number, same command.
