Hi,

there is a feature in Linux kernel since version 2.6.8 where root (and
possibly owner of the file?) can open(2) files with O_NOATIME attribute.
Then the access time of the hash-checked files wont be altered. Is Aide
using or going to use this feature? It fits programs like Aide very well
in my opinion.
