What the heck does that mean? Let's phrase the question differently... Does the existance of the daily.* files (extracted from daily.cld) : daily.cfg daily.db daily.ftm daily.hdu daily.ign daily.info daily.ldu daily.mdu daily.ndu daily.wdb daily.fp daily.hdb daily.idb daily.ign2 daily.ldb daily.mdb daily.ndb daily.pdb daily.zmd matter to the performance of clamav, does it work just as well if there is only the daily.cld file? I ask this because it was stated my amavis + clamav scanning issue where some Sanesecurity "infections" are missed was said to be possibly linked to a missing daily.ftm file. I don't know why, I was just told this. > stop using cron to get clamav updated, stop using anything that is started > with cron > > use freshclam, if freshclam gives you issues show them here If I recall, on Debian, it asks whether to run once a day as a cron, or as a daemon. On Redhat it just installs a cron. That is two major Linux distros making cron an option. Has something changed that makes the cron option wrong? _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
