[Aide] AIDE init error for acl and gzip support

[Nutan Vishwakarma]

Hi,

Sorry, this took way too long to get back. Here is what I was trying to do
and get an error with attribute "acl" when I use it against a directory.

I am trying to test latest available version of aide, on CentOS 7 and not
all dependencies are available via yum, so I installed a few manually in
non standard paths.


*sudo yum install -y bison flex pcre-devel.x86_64 zlib-devel.x86_64
libgcrypt-devel.x86_64 libgcrypt.x86_64 mhash-devel.x86_64
libcryptui-devel.x86_64 gettext-0.19.8.1-2.el7.x86_64./configure
--with-zlib=/home/nutan/aide/zlib-1.2.11/ --disable-static*


Configure script succeeded when ran with zlib (resolve libz requirement)
and disabled static.
aide is now running -










*[nutan at aide aide-0.16.2]$ aide --versionAide 0.16.2Compiled with the
following
options:WITH_MMAPWITH_PCREWITH_LSTAT64WITH_READDIR64WITH_MHASHCONFIG_FILE =
"/usr/local/etc/aide.conf"[nutan at aide aide-0.16.2]$ *


NOW, the problem area -

I created a aide.conf file and add following to it -

*[nutan at aide rtest]$ sudo more /usr/local/etc/aide.conf*

*database=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db*

*database_out=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new*

*database_new=file:/var/lib/aide/aide.db.new*

*gzip_dbout=yes*


*summarize_changes=no*


*grouped=yes*


*verbose = 10*


*report_base16 = no*


*Checksums = sha512+tiger*


*# The checksums of the databases to be printed in the report*

*# Set to 'E' to disable.*

*database_attrs = Checksums*


*# check test direcotry *

*/home/nutan/aide/rtest p+n+u+g+s+acl+selinux+xattrs+md5+sha256+sha512*

*[nutan at aide rtest]$ *


when "aide --init" is run, then I see error of expression.

[nutan at aide rtest]$ aide --init
Gzip-support not compiled in.
21:Error in expression:acl
Configuration error
[nutan at aide rtest]$


If I remove "acl" from attributes list, then I see same error for xattrs.
When I remove xattrs too, I get aide to initialize for the first time as
expected.

Is this because of build steps?? I'll atleast need acl to be part of the
attributes list.

Help Please...!!


Thanks,
Nutan
