#Linux lesson learned:

#auditd fails to load rules files with #CRLF line endings.
If a single rule file contains these characters, no rules are loaded at all.

Its easy to fix if you know it.

But when you add a single file to others with no visible difference and everything stops working, this can really drive you crazy.

Back on getting sync working on Windows in Site.js. I think I finally grok how paths and line-endings work via cygwin and so the next step is to integrate this into the binary and patch it in. What a world of hurt.

PS. Documented it all here:
