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.

Create a large sparse file
Run AIDE against it
Wait a long time.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:03:55 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-07 05:22:17 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
