If they are on a local network, why not just share out the directory via NFS or SMBFS or other networked file system? That would be a lot simpler than trying to code yet another network protocol and writing yet another network daemon. Or, just configure rsync to keep the various servers' DB directory in sync. Then its just a matter of telling the remote clamd processes to reload the DB files. A simple script to check the modification time on the DB files will work for this. Or a FAM script. Granted, this wouldn't work across a WAN, but it would work fine for a bunch of servers on a LAN. -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
