You can set --sysconfigdir to /home/mydir or any other directory you 
desire, using an etc directory is not mandatory.

In that case you're best off running aide with the -c switch specifying 
a relative aide.conf file. I'm not sure if the database URL can be made 
relative as well. If not, you can always set it to file:///tmp/aide.db 
and copy it there first.
