Hello Marc,

Order matters. >>To be able to insert local rules at the "right" place of config, aide's >>Debian packages work with configuration snippets in >>/etc/aide/aide.conf.d. Try putting your rule in there. Thanks for your quick response. In the scenario I tried there is only a single rule that I used. I am still not sure what "right" place means here. I will check further on this. >>This is not a bug, closing this report. For questions about basic aide >>usage, please refer to the mailing list. >>Also, what do you mean by "aide is unable to report"? By "aide is unable to report", I meant after explicitly modifying the file and running an aide check, "AIDE found differences between database and filesystem!!" message is not reported in system logs. Thanks & Regards, Sai Ashrith
