Awake again. Seems a correction was in order, according to htop, the config file I was editing should have been /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf, not /etc/freshclam.conf which also existed. So I changed it, nuked the other, and sent it a SIGHUP. Worked this time. And I'm still a quart low on coffee. Take it another 5 minutes to brew. ;-) Thanks Al.
