freshclam doesn't update the program files, only the virus pattern files > > So, I want it to automatically update clam. use an rpm based distribution with a tool like urpmi/up2date/redcarpet with a maintainer who will provide binaries for your platform, and enable automatic RPM updating. On Mandrake you can make a cron job that says: urpmi.update update_source urpmi --update --auto-select --force If you didn't want all of the other mandrake updates, it would be easy enough to build: urpmi.update update_source urpmi --update clamd --force or even: urpmi.addmedia -f clam ftp://ftp.neocat.com/pub/RPMS/10.1/ then: urpmi.update -f clam urpmi --media clam --auto-select --force But Bill hasn't been maintaining his RPM archive since Mandrake put clamav in the main distribution. I personally would not recommend automatic binary updates, but it can be done. I maintain test and production servers, and generally build an rpm for every version and RC (unless Oden from Mandrake is quicker, then I use his.) My test server gets upgraded relatively quickly, and when I am satisfied that it is stable, I upgrade production. > > > Any help appreciated, > > Regards, > Akshat > > > Daniel J McDonald writes: > > > On Tue, 2005-02-15 at 08:09 -0500, akshat wrote: > >> Dear All, > >> > >> > >> My clam is not updated, my log says, > > > > Then you had best download .83 and run it instead... > > > > -- > > Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CNX > > Austin Energy > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > _______________________________________________ > > http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users > > > > -------------------------------- > Linux System Administrator > Tetra Information Systems Pvt.
