Thanks Daniel, That looks *exactly* like what I need - and a good excuse to learn to use rsync!

Run freshclam on a machine that does have www access from a cron job, say at 47 minutes past the hour on odd hours. Schedule an rsync with the filter box at 57 minutes past the hour. On the hour clamd will check to see if the .cvd files have changed - just in case freshclam failed to notify clamd for whatever reason. sample crontab entries: 47 1-23/2 * * * freshclam --quiet 57 1-23/2 * * * rsync -rtlzqe ssh --delete /var/lib/clamav/*.cvd filter.ip.addr:/var/lib/clamav/ -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE 2495, CNX Austin Energy ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
