New to aide, have a questions already.  :)

I have several machines I want to use Aide with. My plan, so far, is to 
have an nfs share mounted read-only with the binaries and original 
databases to compare to. What I'm trying to figure out is how to insert 
the hostname into the database=:@@ line so that each host compares to 
its own database.

I see that the aide.conf file uses @@ as the variable prefix. Is there 
a way in the config file to:

  @@define HOST `hostname`

Or something like that? So the database line is:

  database=files:@@{FILELOCATION}/aide.db.@@{HOST}

ciao!
