[Aide] AIDE changing directory mtimes

[Marek Dohojda]

The prelink was indeed the problem.  Once I disabled it, I reinitialized the 
database, and everything started to work fine from that point on.   It seems 
to be something of a bug, but since I don't use prelink it should be fine.

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.
