[Morgan Walker]

I ran the following:  gdb /usr/bin/aide.real 

 

Here is the output:

I am not sure about the debian package, but you should be able to run 

something like: gdb /usr/bin/aide.real

and then inside gdb: run --check

When the seg fault occurs, type: bt

It looks like your database at /var/lib/aide/aide.db is corrupted. It 

should be a gzipped file which starts out like this:

 

@@begin_db

# This file was generated by Aide, version 0.11

# Time of generation was 2006-03-05 01:15:26

@@db_spec

 

Still, aide should not seg fault when it encounters a corrupted aide.db.


Please send the result from the gdb back trace.

 

Sincerely,

 

Richard van den Berg
