[Aide-devel] Re: aide 0.11 reporting directory as changed even if configured not to do so

[Marc H. <mh+...@zu...>]

Hi,

last sunday, I wrote this to aide[-users], and didn't receive an
answer. Since this behavior is very annoying, I'd like to bother
aide-devel and ask you guys for comments? Am I doing something wrong,
or is this an aide bug?
