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.
