Okay, so here's the deal. The default aide.conf checks the selinux
bits. If you need to have selinux off (not really recommended, but
it's your box) and you still want aide to watch over your files, you
need to remove the selinux requirements from /etc/aide.conf.   I've
gone ahead and done up a config file which is identical to the default
with selinux bits removed. Grab the file from
http://www.bofh-hunter.com/downloads/aide.conf   or use the diff below
against the default config:
