Yes, I do aide --update mv /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new /var/lib/aide/aide.db aide --check If that reports a lot of missing files, I restart the process and it works. This is the way I work around the bug. I wonder if aide does not work better if the files are already in the ernel cache. (The box has 1Gb of RAM, and the amount of file data processed by aide is much smaller than that.) cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
