Heres the details on Mandrake Linux 
Here are on Conectiva Linux

Just something else that I noticed a while ago
but didn't see any use for it.
If you do an 'slocate abc -oMoP', the file MoP
will be created sgid to slocate. (This was
tested on a Mandrake and a Redhat box with the
same results).
I haven't really had time to dig any deeper,
but I would assume that this would let you
overwrite anything that the slocate group has
permissions to.
