Hi,
/usr/libexec/locate.updatedb already does exclude all fs types except
ufs (see its ${FILESYSTEMS} variable) so there should be no need to add
those smbfs shares' mount points to ${PRUNEPATHS} as well.
Rumko's problem here is that even though find is invoked with '! \(
-fstype ufs \) -prune' it will die anyway when a smbfs share is
unavailable. This looks like a bug and is independent of locate.updatedb.
