This looks like you still have the rules that are pulled in from /etc/aide/aide.conf.d active. Is that desired? Are you aware that Debian's aide packages build the actual config at run time? > The flood of these messages in the logs is making looking at the daily reports > rather difficult. > > Aide was working before the latest Etch update, when the cron job started > giving me errors (bug 438429), hence the reinstall. > > Has anything changed recently that would affect Aide? Maybe your reinstall changed your local configuration changes? Anyway, I cannot reproduce your issue on Debian sid. On Debian etch, a configuration like yours gives a single open_dir():Not a directory: /var/log/syslog I'll guess that the issue was fixed somewhere since etch's release, though the changelog doesn't say this explicitly. So it must be a corollary fix. Maybe try with a backport? Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
