These are a couple of scripts used to manage the digital signing of AIDE databases. The script check_sign_aide.sh is installed on one central server, where the various signatures will be managed and stored. The script uses SSH to login to each remote server using public-key authentication. Because these operations need to happen as root on each remote machine, root's authorized_keys file on each remote machine should have a forced command something like the following for the key of the central server handling the signing: command="/root/bin/check_sign_aide_wrapper.sh",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty,from="server.example.com"
