hmm.  The plot thickens.  I've just noticed that the client machines that 
aren't working are running a later version of aide (0.14) where as the other 
machines which are working all seem to be running version 0.13.1.  Could this 
be the problem I wonder?

Cheers,
Matt

run --init or --update

Hi Keith, Rami,
Essentially I'm trying to do a comparison. I should note that the system that I 
have inherited uses a remote machine to run comparisons, in that a daily cron 
job sends jobs across from client boxes to a central machine where the 
comparisons and the results of the comparisons are stored as text.  

This has been working well for a long time for all but a handful of machines 
whose output is simply the error about the old db containing a file that 
shouldn't be there, as opposed to the details of changes to the filesystem as 
expected.

I've tried to copy the old.aide db file back to the client machine and then 
reinitialise it, but i get the same error when i try to run the comparison on 
the server again.

Unfortunately I cant find any useful log information either, apart from a msg 
about that the scan commencing.

Matt,

What are you trying to do when this message appears and what aide
command line are you using? Could you paste your aide.conf (sensitive
parts redacted, if you wish)?

Best,

Keith Constable
