But you are on this mailing list, which means you know about the upgrade before you type yum update clamav (or the local equivalant). Now take the user for whom the only notice of an update is when they issue yum update and it lists clam* among the packages to update. He'll know about the change AFTER it's installed. As a big fan of the Unix "programs should do a small job" philosphy, I think a good overall solution would be a configuration file update utility for package managers. Maybe something along the lines of automake that can take old versions of a config file, along with some rules, and use it to build a current version. ========================================================== 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://www.clamav.net/support/ml
