Maybe you misunderstood. The cron was of freshclam run. Anyway, to test if there was a difference I found an example of an init script for Redhat and freshclam and set it up. It runs now as a daemon and I see like the cron of freshclam it updates only two files: -rw------- 1 amavis amavis 468 Nov 19 11:35 mirrors.dat -rw-r--r-- 1 amavis amavis 18211328 Nov 19 11:35 daily.cld The daily.* files are not extracted as they are in the Debian system. Is there a conf variable associated with this? I've already attempted to improve the freshclam.conf on the Redhat with settings I saw on Debian. I currently have: DatabaseDirectory /var/clamav UpdateLogFile /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log LogSyslog yes DatabaseOwner amavis DatabaseMirror db.ca.clamav.net DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net NotifyClamd /etc/clamd.conf Debug no AllowSupplementaryGroups false TestDatabases yes ScriptedUpdates yes CompressLocalDatabase no _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
