Hi Marc,

This works for me. That's what I did on a squeeze system with i686
architecture:
I took some time to investigate this morning. I used the following,
iteratively:
dd if=/dev/random of=/testfile bs=65536 seek=39999 count=1
aide.wrapper --update | mail root
cp -f /var/lib/aide.db.new /var/lib/aide.db
Each time, aide complains:
do_md(): open() for /testfile failed: Value too large for defined
data type
It's detailed report says:
File: /testfile
Mtime : 2011-02-27 07:29:34 , 2011-02-27 08:02:50
Ctime : 2011-02-27 07:29:34 , 2011-02-27 08:02:50
It apparently has no hashing data for comparison.
I then tried removing hash functions from "Checksums" in
/etc/aide/aide.conf.
sha256, when alone, still generates an error.
crc32, when alone, still generates an error.
If I set "Checksums = E", then all is fine. I get no error.
To AIDE's credit, despite the error, it keeps checking the system and
even the other properties for this file.
Also, please explain the d-i tag.
I got confused. Rereading its definition, I cannot fathom why I put it
there.
Greetings
Marc
Thanks. Let me know how I can further help.
