Ubuntu AIDE

Hello I've got an Ubuntu 16.04 server that I've installed AIDE on. I've confirmed that it installed and is running with the following command

sudo apt list aide

Listing... Done
aide/now 0.16~a2.git20130520-3 amd64 [installed,local]

However there isn't an AIDE directory in /etc so there is no aide.conf file either. Does something else need to be done?

If you installed via...

apt-get install aide

Open in new window

Minimal config setup will be done for you.

If you installed from source or any other way (besides apt-get) then you'll require setting up a minimal config, based on the installation procedure you used for your install.

For example...

lxd: net14-aide-test # apt-get -y install aide

aide is already the newest version (0.16-3).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

lxd: net14-aide-test # find /etc/aide -type f | wc -l
162

Open in new window

This shows a package install installs 162 related config files.

ldap_auth_client
ldap_auth_config
libc6-dev amd 64
libc6 i386
libpam-ldap
libwbclient
samba-common
samba-libs

Installing the package should have still triggered running the post install hook.

Provide the exact command sequence you used to install all your .deb files which will likely be dpkg commands.

Also provide both commands + full output commands produced, as any errors must be resolved.

I placed all these find in AIDE directory, then from inside the directory ran dpkg -i *.deb this went through the list unpacking & configuring everything without error.

Try dpkg -L to list package files. Maybe the config ended up in a different location.

Also note that many programs come with a default config and can be run without cconfig files. I do not know aide so i have no idea whether that applies
