After an initial scan, record a file's name, checksum, and time scanned. On rescan, If a file's checksum hasn't changed from time scanned { Scan it with the DB sigs that have changed since then else Scan it like it does now ( with everything in the DB, I assume. ) } Although, I'm known for coming up with hair brained ideas, so this one might go to /dev/null :-) -- Sincerely, Nathan Gibbs Systems Administrator Christ Media http://www.cmpublishers.com
