Does anyone know why FreeBSD 6.2 and 6.3 would frequently change the
following files or directories? Here are some examples that often come up in
my daily AIDE reports:
changed: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/perl/man/whatis
changed: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/man
changed: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/man/whatis
changed: /usr/share/openssl/man
changed: /usr/share/openssl/man/whatis
changed: /usr/share/man
changed: /usr/share/man/whatis

My aide.conf file checks these directories with the following
configurations;

/usr/local/lib          R-tiger-rmd160-sha1
/usr/share              R-tiger-rmd160-sha1

I'm just a bit miffed why these files or directories would be changing on an
almost daily basis... any thoughts?
