[Integrit-users] Problem with .gvfs?

[Christian T. <tsc...@gm...>]

Hello,

i just started trying integrit. I know it's unusual, but i started by
trying to put my home-directory into the database. The following error
occured:

root@hardy64:/etc/integrit# integrit -C /etc/integrit/integrit.conf -u -vvv
integrit: ---- integrit, version 4.1 -----------------
integrit:                      output : human-readable
integrit:                   conf file : /etc/integrit/integrit.conf
integrit:                    known db : /home/tschaboo/.integrit/known.cdb
integrit:                  current db : /home/tschaboo/.integrit/current.cdb
integrit:                        root : /home/tschaboo
integrit:                    do check : no
integrit:                   do update : yes
integrit (main): Error: walk_file_tree: Permission denied
root@hardy64:/etc/integrit#

After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 i also had problems backing up with
rsnapshot [1]. After some research, i found that the problem is a gnome
virtual filesystem in ~/.gvfs which is not readable by root [2]. So i
expected that my problem with integrit has the same cause. Indeed, if i
run integrit as the user (and not root) it succeeds. I should mention
that the error occurs also when the directory is excluded [3]. That's
the real problem. Is there something that can be done about this?

Regards,
Christian

[3] yes, without trailing slash.
