:-) Wrong project, sorry! It was meant for the ansible-hardening one.

Original:

In Ubuntu 18.04 with aide 0.16-3 the default config is as follows:


$ sudo cat /etc/aide/aide.conf

# AIDE conf

# The daily cron job depends on these paths
database=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db
database_out=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new
database_new=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new
gzip_dbout=yes
...

In the tasks "stat aide.db" and "initialize aide" the database file expected and created is /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz

If one manually runs the aidecheck.service.j2 command (/usr/bin/aide.wrapper --check), a message about the lack of a database is shown.

If one stats the database, it is empty.

I can do a PR if you agree. Thank you!
