Hi,Why not use a local mirror (a simple shellscript using wget -N should be sufficient) and make all the local freshclams update from there every ten minutes?
As I was deploying clamav on one organisation, I thought: what if I set up some sort of 'push' update, e.g.- - subscribe to clamav-virusdb mailing list with an address routed to the clamav server - each message sent to the list will trigger a script that (among other things) launches freshclam on the clamav server.
The objective is to minimize the time in which an organisation has a non-updated definition.
Of course, on top of all this I will also run freshclam in daemon mode / cron as contingency.
Anything wrong with this? Thanks..
Please, don't try such update intervals with the official mirrors....
But I think it's a nice idea, perhaps that may have a go once clamd's new network protocol is able to do what the old one already does.
