This is not the only reason I ask, but the most recent. I have a script that checks that evidenly has a bug. I can either spend time fixing that, or fixing clam so it ignores the one line with an error and processes the rest of the file, and am trying to decide how best to spend time. Probably both in the end. It's a question of being brittle. Any small error in the databases stops clam dead. Hell, clam won't run if there is an empty db file ! I had wanted to leave a temporary db file around for things I wanted to block quickly, and leave it empty when there was nothing to block. Surprise -- that kills clam ! Why in the world should that happen ? I can see the arguements if the official, signed files are corrupt, but for exra added files, ignore the bad line, ignore just that FILE, but it makes no sense to me to die completely. Any mistake becomes fatal, for no good reason. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 948-3162 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
