[Aide] aide.db ignore/include in initial run?

[Matt Zagrabelny]

Greetings,

I'm a new AIDE user.

Running Debian:

aide-common    0.17.3-4+deb11u1

After install I run:

aideinit

then I run (by hand):

/etc/cron.daily/aide

In the resulting email from cron I see:

----------%<-----------BEGIN
Summary:
  Total number of entries:      163267
  Added entries:                1
  Removed entries:              0
  Changed entries:              0

---------------------------------------------------
Added entries:
---------------------------------------------------

f+++++++++++++++++: /var/lib/aide/aide.db
----------%<-----------END

Is there a way to have the aideinit determine the checksum value for
/var/lib/aide/aide.db and include it in the initial run, thus causing the
initial email to have 0 added entries?

Thanks for the help!
