Very cool Jason! I just wanted to ask if Richie is aware of the unrar bug in clamav? I applied a patch to my clamav package in Mandrake to adress this issue. Grab my SRC RPM here: ftp://ftp.uninett.no/linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/contrib/SRPMS/clamav-0.54-7mdk.src.rpm or grab the source here: http://clamav.elektrapro.com/snapshot/unrarlib.c http://clamav.elektrapro.com/snapshot/ChangeLog Chears. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
