I think that is a bad idea. Updating aide.db without manual intervention 
is dangerous. If a backdoor was added to your system, it will only be 
reported once, after which the changes to your file system are updated 
in aide.db automatically.

I think the ANF/ARF directives have their uses, but it might not be to 
track rotating log files by inode number.
