Aide does not ship with a cron.daily script. Most likely this is provided by your Linux distribution. You should request support for this script there. Did you read their documentation for example in /usr/share/doc ? > 2) I want aide to rebuild and place the database after each check.

Which parts of http://www.cs.tut.fi/~rammer/aide/manual.html specifically do you have questions about? Kind regards, Richard
