I installed clamav on a Redhat. The machine do not have a direct internet connection, so that it cannot use freshclam to update it database.
My question is , is there any method to update ClamAV databases other than freshclam?
For example, can I do a freshclam on another machine and copy the database file(what is the path?) to a floppy/CD and then copy to the Redhat?
Yes, just copy *.cvd files. These files can be located in /var/lib/clamav, /usr/local/share/clamav, ... (packaging dependant).
I just do that because I have 4 systems using clamav and want them to be in sync. So I put some glue around freshclam that compares the cvd contents before and after a freshclam run and if a diff is found update the 4 systems using rsync and mail the changes to me (new, removed and updated entries).
