DOH! My bad. I guess I was looking at some very old online reference guides. So there is no need to ever call `update-aide.conf` and all I have to remember to do is update the DB when appropriate. Thank you so much!
On an unrelated note, I was wondering if anyone has done any comparisons between AIDE and OSSEC? I cannot find much online and was going to look through AIDE mailing list archives but there is no easy way to search all of them. Thank you! *_Nacho* On Mon, Apr 1, 2019 at 1:31 AM Marc Haber <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 01, 2019 at 12:46:27AM -0400, Anchal Nigam wrote: > > I am having a hard time figuring out how to set AIDE up.
