If you want to finish setting up AIDE, don't forget to create your own aide.conf based on ${PREFIX}/etc/aide.conf.sample and then copy it to the /var/db/aide/ directory. 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.
