[Aide] AIDE changing directory mtimes

[Richard Dupuy]

I think the version I'm using was compiled with prelink and that is part of the problem... Because it's using prelink, there's a problem with mtimes and ctimes getting updated on key directories (listed in the first e-mail of this chain), unless the prelink processing is disabled. I'm not sure what the advantages and disadvantages of using prelink with AIDE are (I presume slightly faster start-up times and perhaps slightly faster processing generally), but I might consider compiling a version WITHOUT prelink. That would probably allow us to reenable prelink and run AIDE without causing a conflict.

Thanks again!

Aide does support prelinking, although it needs to be enabled during the
build process:

   configure --help
   [...]
   --with-prelink          use prelink (no checking)


As far as I can tell it was available in version 0.14.
