Freshclam<->cron update conflicts do not appear to be the issue; ie. avoiding conflicts does not appear to prevent the problem, forcing conflicts does not reproduce the problem. Duplicating cron functions in freshclam will complicate freshclam without addressing the problem the OP is trying to solve. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
