If you want to finish setting up AIDE, don't forget to customise your own aide.conf in %%PREFIX%%/etc/aide.conf. You will also need to run the following commands: cd /var/db/aide aide --init mv databases/aide.db.new databases/aide.db You may want to change the permissions of the /var/adm/aide/ directory tree. For your reference, a copy of the original aide.conf is supplied in %%PREFIX%%/etc/aide.conf.sample.
