Hello,
I am not that much experienced with linux.
I would like to have freshclam doing updates by itself. Until now I did
the update manually.
The clamav-update file in my /etc/cron.d directory is as follow:

## Adjust this line...
MAILTO=root,postmaster,webmaster,clamav

## It is ok to execute it as root; freshclam drops privileges and
becomes
## user 'clamav' as soon as possible
0  */3 * * * root /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep

how should I edit it to have it work ?

The shell script freshclam-sleep it is supposed to run "points" to a
freshclam file in the /etc/sysconfig directoryand in this file I
commmented (#) the FRESHCLAM_DELAY=disabled-warn line

>From what I understand, the freshclam-sleep script should be run
every 3 hours. The cron.hourly directory is empty.
Also I gathered that I should add a line in the/my crontab to run
freshclam as a cron task.
Before I mess everything up, can someone tell me how to set the cron
thing to run freshclam this way.
Thanx in advance.
Pascal
