The simplest way would be to run freshclam, copy
{main,daily}.c[vl]d to your device, then stop clamd on the
CentOS system, remove main.*, daily.* from the DBdir, copy
over your new databases, and start clamd.
Okay, seems reasonable...but why run freshclam at all if I am manually
copying the databases over onto the device? Are the steps you described the
ones that actually get done automatically when you run freshclam? (save
for the getting the databases from the 'net) Or are you running freshclam
in the above sequence to verify versions at the start?
Hi John,
Wanted to jump in to say that I found that confusing also. This is how
I read it:
1) On external (meaning: not CentOS) machine: run freshclam (which
will pick up the new {main,daily}.c[vl]d), then copy those new files
to your sneakerware device.
2) On CentOS machine: stop clamd, copy over new files, restart clamd.
So the question is back to Torok for clarification.
Thanks,
Robert
