[Aide] include file ability in AIDE

[Mason Nakadomari]

I was wondering if it was possible for AIDE to parse and recognize an
include file option in the aide.conf. I haven't been able to find one. My
boss thinks that it would be useful if you could add include files to the
aide.conf file.

Not natively, but it is easy to script this. For example the debian aide package has a aide.conf.d directory that gets included into a temporary aide.conf before aide is run.

Kind regards,

You can use the @@include macro to include files to the config (see
aide.conf(5) man page for details)

Additionally there is a feature request to extend @include
functionality to allow directories[0] which is planned to be fixed in
the upcoming release 0.16.

Best regards

Thanks that seems very useful I'll start testing it right away. Thanks.
