I'm still a bit new to OSSEC, so sorry if there's an obvious answer to
this, but..  Why use a rule to exclude directories and not use the
syscheck <ignore> tags?  If I understand correctly, using a rule means
that the directories are still checked, using memory/cpu, while using an
<ignore> tag would prevent syscheck from checking them to begin with.

Am I missing something obvious?
