I'm working with 3rd party vendors doing CIS and security checking. The current CRON job:
0 0 * * * root nice ionice -c3 /usr/sbin/aide --config /etc/aide.conf --check
fails the regex tests that the vendors do for AIDE due to '--config /etc/aide.conf' being specified. I figure it's easier to update this module than to convince the vendors to update their regular expressions.
The regex used by CIS/STIG is:
pattern:
^\s*([^#]+\s+)?\/usr\/sbin\/aide\s(--?\S+\s)*--(check|update)\b.*$I propose an option to exclude the '--config /etc/aide' part of the CRON job and just let aide use its default of /etc/aide.conf.
