MailScanner installed /etc/cron.hourly/update_virus_scripts This calls /usr/sbin/update_virus_scanners. This in turn calls f-prot-autoupdate and that's where the problem is. I'm hearing from you that it's working without any issues. I'm seeing from other people that they just use the f-prot autoupdate routine and not worry about the MailScanner updates. Perhaps I'll give that a shot. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
