Except the ability to operate from a given specific URL pointing to a file. If the only updates come from freshclam-verified sources it wouldn't be so bad. The problem comes up that other mechanisims are necessry for third party databases. I fully realize these aren't the clam teams problem. My question was not how to integrate third party dbs - the question was, is there a compelling reason to fail on a single corrupt line in a text database (or should have been, I didn't specify it wasn't the core db). And the anwsers I've had to that quesiton say, to me, that there isn't. So I am going to work on a patch to allow clam to continue. I will attempt to make it something that could go back to the main project with an option to turn on and off, but if it isn't accepted, so be it. This will work better for me -- and this is the beauty of open source. ========================================================== 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
