I don't think the existing setup needs to be redone for this. There is OnUpdateExecute for freshclam, allowing you to run a local script to rsync the new cvd files to the other machines, and there is the DatabaseMirror directive, allowing you to point other freshclam's on the LAN to your local mirror. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | * joeyh_ runs ps and sees 10 lines of | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | awk code * joeyh_ recoils in horror | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
