diff works fine on binary, why shouldn't it? The output is empty or
"binary files differ". I never bothered to verify md5 of files reported
equal by diff, but I'll try with the next one I make and report back
here in the unimaginably unlikely case they have different md5.

Did they make a manual for aide yet? Sorry to sound cynical, but I found
its documentation horrible and unhelpful. So you know how to actually
use it?

Nice suggestion. Where do I learn about these mandatory access controls?
