As the person (not a clamav dev team member, so my opinion is my own), I have a couple of questions. What are the advantages of your patch over, say, running freshclam with Foreground in the config file? Can you explain why you apply the patch, and what functionality it adds? It would help me to appreciate what it is you're doing, at least. As I said, I can't speak for any of the others, but it looks to me like duplication of existing functionality, and conditionally applied at that, which seems an odd way to go. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Memory fault -- brain fried | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
