I recently install aide-0.11 and am currently testing it for our application. Something that is confusing me though is how the rules are applied and if they supercede the previous rule. For example, if I use the rules in aide.conf:

/ p+u+g
/etc p+u+g+m+i+s

Does the first rule take precedent so that the m, i, and s, switches are ignored for /etc? OR, if I use:

/ R+a
/etc p+u+g+s

do the m, c, and md5 (as well as others included with R) still apply to files in /etc?
Can I use something like:

/ R+a
/etc -m-c-md5
to have it not track that data for files in /etc but still track permissions, user, group, etc?

Any assistance in clarifying my understanding would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Randy
