[Aide] ***SPAM*** help with root_prefix

[p***@mailnull.com]

Hello,

I'm trying to understand how to use root_prefix (in order to
save effort in off-line database initialization and checking).
I'm using aide-0.16 on Fedora 25.

To test, I do something like:

`mkdir /tmp/testroot`
`touch /tmp/testroot/{x,y}`

Create aide.conf with:

root_prefix = /tmp/testroot
/ R

And run `aide -c ./aide.conf --init`. What I get is:

get_file_status: lstat() failed for /y: No such file or directory
get_file_status: lstat() failed for /x: No such file or directory

The initialized database contains the one entry of "/" whose
attributes are those of the real "/" (not "/tmp/testroot" as I
expect).

If I change the rule to:

/tmp/testroot R

I get the same result, except that "/" is not added to the database.

Can anyone guide me to the correct setup? What is root_prefix
supposed to do?

Thank you,
John

Your expectations regarding the root_prefix options are absolutely correct. The
current behaviour is simply a bug. I'll look into it and report back
when it is fixed.

The issue should be fixed now in git master[0].
