Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: aide
This report relates to aide 0.13.1-8ubuntu1, from a Ubuntu 8.04.1
installation.
By default, the aide.conf file included in the package looks as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp/aide-0.13.1/debian$ cat aide.conf
# AIDE conf
database=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db
database_out=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new
Checksums = md5+sha1+rmd160+haval+gost+crc32+tiger+whirlpool
OwnerMode = p+u+g
Size = s+b
InodeData = OwnerMode+n+i+Size
...
According to the aide.conf man page, "these lines have the format
parameter=value". It seemed clear that whitespace was allowed before and
after the "=" character however since the package wasn't broken out of
the box.
Eventually, I decided that the database[_out]=file:/... lines looked
messy, and added the whitespace to them as well to make everything
consistent. Whops! I got notifications like:
/etc/cron.daily/aide:
cp: cannot stat `': No such file or directory
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/aide exited with return code 1
I tracked the problem down, and have included the patch so that the
changes to my aide.conf are parsed correctly.
** Affects: aide (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
