Yep, that would probably work fine. However, in the mean time, based on your feedback, I put the following together: ========== cd /var/tmp/clamdb/ wget --tries=5 -N http://www.sanesecurity.com/clamav/phish.ndb.gz && \ gunzip -df phish.ndb.gz > phish.ndb && \ clamscan --quiet -d phish.ndb && \ cp --reply=yes /var/lib/clamav/phish.ndb /var/lib/clamav/phish.ndb-bak && \ mv -f phish.ndb /var/lib/clamav/phish.ndb wget --tries=5 -N http://www.sanesecurity.com/clamav/scam.ndb.gz && \ gunzip -df scam.ndb.gz > scam.ndb && \ clamscan --quiet -d scam.ndb && \ cp --reply=yes /var/lib/clamav/scam.ndb /var/lib/clamav/scam.ndb-bak && \ mv -f scam.ndb /var/lib/clamav/scam.ndb wget --tries=5 -N http://download.mirror.msrbl.com/MSRBL-SPAM.ndb && \ clamscan --quiet -d MSRBL-SPAM.ndb && \ cp --reply=yes /var/lib/clamav/MSRBL-SPAM.ndb /var/lib/clamav/MSRBL-SPAM.ndb-bak && \ mv -f MSRBL-SPAM.ndb /var/lib/clamav/MSRBL-SPAM.ndb wget --tries=5 -N http://download.mirror.msrbl.com/MSRBL-Images.hdb && \ clamscan --quiet -d MSRBL-Images.hdb && \ cp --reply=yes /var/lib/clamav/MSRBL-Images.hdb /var/lib/clamav/MSRBL-Images.hdb-bak && \ mv -f MSRBL-Images.hdb /var/lib/clamav/MSRBL-Images.hdb /usr/local/sbin/clamd reload ========== Bill _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
