I've used a couple of repos over the years and been bitten by annoying things like not being promptly updated with new releases, changing user between clam and clamav and changing db location between /var/clamav and /var/lib/clamav. I have now settled for EPEL which seems to be current and of reasonably high quality. /peter _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
