Description of problem: Supplied Configration File does not monitor only "admin dot files for PERMS" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Exists in 0.13.1-7.fc11 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install aide. 2. Run aide -i 3. move the db in place. 4. run aide -C, note everything is fine. 5. change the mtime on a non dot file in /root. 6. run aide -C, note the mtime change is not reported. Actual results: mtime change on normal file in /root not reported. Expected results: mtine change on normal file in /root IS reported Additional info: The problem lies in the last rule in the configuration file. it is curretnly /root/.* PERMS however since aide treats the lines a regular expressions, not globs, this matches all files in /root. /root/\..* PERMS Fixes the problem.
A new aide package has been built in rawhide to address this issue. Thanks for reporting it.
