[Aide] Config file on aide check

[Mason Nakadomari]

Okay thanks. When you run --update it doesn't reflect changes to the conf
file right just the differences in database? So for example if i use init
mode, run a check and then change the conf file and run a check again will
it be conparing the new conf file or the old one. Thanks.
