misc/findutils brings a script gupdatedb to update the database for glocate. To support restricting the database to only contain readable by a specific user (in order to avoid leaking sensitive information from the file structure) su(1) is used to call gfind(1). However, the assumption about how to call su(1) differs from su(1) as provided by FreeBSD. This has the effect that su(1) fails (resulting in an empty database) when a user with nologin as login shell is used, like the nobody user. Fix: add the following patch to the files subdirectory of the port and bump PORTREVISION. How-To-Repeat: /usr/local/bin/gupdatedb --localuser=nobody
