The AIDE manual (http://aide.sourceforge.net/stable/manual.html) states: As you already know, aide has three types of selection lines: Regular selection lines, beginning with "/". Equals selection lines, beginning with "=". Negative selection lines, beginning with "!". and the aide.conf man page has a SELECTION LINES section which says something similar. However, neither of these documents actually explains the difference between "regular" and "equals" lines, they just discuss that the string after the selection line is a regular expression.
I have found one reference from 2006 that says that equals lines are not interpreted as regexes ( https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/pipermail/aide/2006-December/000678.html), but that's it. What is the difference between "regular" and "equals" lines? ❧ Brian Mathis @orev
