Aide Database

roorings · 11-02-2003, 03:01 PM

I cant figure out how to obtain a working database for aide?
does anyone use aide? is it worth keeping around or should i just remove it?
does anyone have a usefull website about aide or an aide faq perhaps?
thanks in advance

well it is simple

aide --init --config <configfilename>

an example configuration:

Code:
