[Aide] wildcard in aide.conf?

[Julien T]

Hello,

I'm reviewing my aide configuration and there are some rules I have to
define as full path instead of using a wildcard or variable.

for example, every user home, if I want to exclude
!/home/myuser/Downloads

is working, but it's not with
!/home/.*/Downloads
!/home/@@{uservar}/Downloads

The latter is supposed to from man page

I'm using aide 0.15.1 on mac (10.9.2) with macports.
Any improvements on this with 0.16a2 ?

Thanks!

Julien

Julien,

Be certain that your most specific rules are on top and most generic on bottom.

For example "!/home/.*/Downloads" needs to be higher in the list than "/home"
