For AIDE to be effective, an initial database of "known-good" information about files
must be captured and it should be able to be verified against the installed files.

warnings:
- general: |-
In RHEL Image Mode (bootc) systems, the AIDE database must be regenerated after each system update.
Image Mode systems receive updates through new container images that may include modified files.
After applying system updates, run the following commands to regenerate the AIDE database:
<pre>$ sudo {{{ aide_bin_path }}} --init</pre>
Then replace the existing database:
<pre>$ sudo cp /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new.gz /var/lib/aide/aide.db.gz</pre>
Failure to regenerate the AIDE database after updates will result in false positive alerts
for legitimate system changes introduced by the update process.
