+        Although Slocate allow user to create his/her own index files,
+        By default Slocate uses a central index file for all users which
+        means one system only has one slocate index file.
+
+        Slocate will check file permissions and ownership before displaying
+        matched files so that files they don't have access to will be 
+        filtered out. 
+
+        Slocate takes care of only filename, which means only creating
+        index on filename, not on file content. 
+
+        Slocate uses system call access() to check file permissions, so
+        it works with ACLs pretty well. Slocate always filter out files
+        the invoking users can't access when creating index file or display
+        the found file name. 
+
+
+        The slocate index file doesn't contain any permission information.
+        It checks permission at run time. so slocate can do the right things
+        if permission change.
