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?

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. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Keith Constable Sent: 05 October 2012 18:50 To: Aide user mailinglist Subject: Re: [Aide] WARNING: Old db contains a file that shouldn't be there, run --init or --update 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)?
