Description Erinn Looney-Triggs 2012-01-03 06:10:37 UTC

Description of problem:
Because of a bug in lastlog, the lastlog file can be huge depending on the UID of the user, when aide chugs through mine (weighing in at 450+gb) it can take a couple of hours. Aide should be smarter about handling sparse files if possible.
