AIDE - Problem in configuration and email alerts

Post by JackJmy » 2013/04/05 11:32:09

Hi All,
I'm trying to setup AIDE on my CentOS dedicated server.

I'm following this tut http://centoshelp.org/security/installing-configuring-aide-on-centos/

I've setup the e-mail to rcv alert

#NOT IMPLEMENTED report_url=mailto:root@foo.com (defaults)
#NOT IMPLEMENTED report_url=syslog:LOG_AUTH (defaults)
report_url=mailto:you@example.com
report_url=syslog:LOG_AUTH

However it seems that AIDE doesn't support the e-mail url
when I run aide I get this error

# aide
Unknown URL-type:mailto
Unsupported output URL-type:mailto:my@myemail.com
Couldn't open file /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz for reading

also running other commands give error
#aide -init
aide: invalid option -- 'n'
Unknown option given. Exiting

Am I missing something?

Sorry for the delayed response.

Appears to be your syntax for invoking is wrong.
[code]
aide --init
...or
aide -i
[/code]

ps-it looks like you may have to do some programming to write as an email.
