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.
