You mean the .cdiff files? or are you using non-scripted updates? The answer to your question is the same, except that using cdiffs is less costly (they are smaller), like the FAQ says, but let me put it in another way: set up a proxy server (Squid for instance) on the "headquarters linux" and configure freshclam on both linuxes to use it. Configure the proxy to cache long enough so you can do less updates (once per day for instance) on the remote server. On the "remote linux" you could use rsync to push (or pull) the changes to your clients (with the 'OnUpdateExecute command' option), and forget about freshclam on those clients. If you are using .cvd files, you can also use the second part of the FAQ answer: use "remote linux" as database server, by changing the client freshclams to use 'ScriptedUpdates off'. There may be a way to convert the *.inc directories to .cvd files. > What is the difference between main.cvd and daily.cvd? They are the the stable and dynamic parts of the database. Main.inc/main.cvd has the signatures that have been used a long time, daily.inc/daily.cvd has the recently added signatures; both change, daily much more often, but main does change. - -- René Berber -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Cygwin) iD8DBQFHBn7ML3NNweKTRgwRCNYBAJ9wY73L2cmlrGyYUuw+jyNcXYC/2gCgi00L 6NA9M+WFQw4Ox0AZvjSbrck= =UMKv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
