You can certainly scan them. In fact the aide documentation recommends scanning /dev. If I were to scan directories like those, I would use aide's built in rule named "L", which does not check properties that are more or less meaningless for special files (for example, the checksum of /dev/sda is the checksum of the entire content of the drive, not the device file itself). http://aide.sourceforge.net/stable/manual.html#config Did running aide with the verbose option show if it was getting stuck on any particular file?
