Dear Maintainer, Thanks for your response.
I followed your steps with aide (17.0.3) and got the same results. Yes, aide is not able to follow symlinks. So, files created inside symlink directories will not be added as entries in aide database, got it. And also I am providing the output of ls -l /lib of our machines as you asked. M1 (used aide: 17.0.3) $ ls -l /lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 6 2021 /lib -> usr/lib M2 (used aide: 18.0.3) $ ls -l /lib lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Aug 4 2023 /lib -> usr/lib So, based on our discussion can we conclude aide will not be able to accept files present in symlinks as it's database entries, right? Thanks and regards, Sai Ashrith
