NAME

update-aide.conf - build run-time AIDE configuration

SYNOPSIS

update-aide.conf

DESCRIPTION

update-aide.conf rebuilds the runtime AIDE configuration. /etc/aide/aide.conf and the contents of the /etc/aide/aide.conf.d directory. If one of these files is executeable, update-aide.conf executes the file and uses its stdout for the AIDE configuration. For files that are not executeable, their contents is copied into AIDE configuration verbatim. The input paths can be controlled from the command line or using configuration options in /etc/default/aide. update-aide.conf is primarily used by aideinit (8), the aide wrapper and and the /etc/cron.daily/aide script.

Debian Packages might drop configuration snippets in /etc/aide/aide.conf.d , which will be picked up automatically by aide if the default paths are used. If you would prefer to control your rules yourself, you might want to point update-aide.conf to a different conf.d directory by configuring /etc/default/aide appropriately. You can then use symlinks to select Debian rules. Or you can edit the files dropped into /etc/aide/aide.conf.d yourself, they are dpkg-conffiles.
