I understand your objective here, but mounting anything under /var read-only is generally asking for trouble. I'm a bit nervous about making it so that under some circumstances, the autogenerated conf isn't updated; this could introduce surprising behavior. Another solution has come to mind: move the autogenerated file to /var/cache/aide. It would solve your case, and I suspect that it's a more appropriate place anyway. -- Mike Markley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Consider a spherical bear, in simple harmonic motion..." - Professor in the UCB physics department -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
