Running a rpm -qaV with root privilege I found that it changes the following settings and more: rpm package version rpm-4.4.2.3-18.el5 This output is generated from aide It would seem kind of weird that an rpm query to check for package changes should modify the directory timestamps. The result is my aide output prints a lot of noise. Anyone got some hints on whats going on and why?
