The first question is, does clamd automatically detect changes to .ndb
files?
Sorry for the late reply...

I did a quick test and it seems to only get "re-loaded", after running freshclam,

ie: like this:

1)  example phish.ndb has two sigs
2) clamd is running
3) you overwrite the phish.ndb, with one that has a total update of four sigs 4) clamdscan, when run will not recognize the last two updated sigs, when scanning
5) run freshclam
6) the database then gets reloaded and the last two updated sigs, are available to clamd, when scanning

I guess it's this section of freshclam.conf:

# Send the RELOAD command to clamd.
# Default: no
#NotifyClamd /path/to/clamd.conf
NotifyClamd /cygdrive/c/clamav-devel/etc/clamd.conf

So, I doubt any code-changes are needed.... but then... it's been a long day ;)

Cheers,

Steve
