Well... clamav is usually used to protect e-mail. if you can break it by sending an e-mail to it, that's bad.... So, even though clamd won't load a bad cvd file, it can't check it before you copy it like freshclam can.... Also, clamav focuses on being on top of fast-breaking outbreaks. Notification of new updates is provided via DNS, which is very fast and lightweight. But if bandwidth is a real concern: nothing beats the bandwidth of a station wagon full of mag tapes. Just have someone copy the files to a floppy, drive accross town to your shop, fire up a web server and drop the files on, then point freshclam at the webserver. -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CNX Austin Energy [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
