Proskurin, Not sure what you mean by "aggressive" but if you are seeing high loads during aide execution, consider updating the checksums you calculate.
Instead of using something like: Checksums = md5+sha1+rmd160+haval+gost+crc32+tiger+whirlpool Use: Checksums = sha1+md5 Also assess your aide config file to eliminate unnecessary checks. Adding a sleep "a few sec" between two file compares can result in extremely lengthy run time. A CentOS 5 server with minimal packages alone can have up to 40,000 files, so even inserting a 1 sec sleep between each check would result in something like a 11+ hour run time. Maybe you can provide some more details on what you are trying to do and what your current configuration looks like.
