Seve: The typical install directory for the latest .68 .70 version is /usr/local/share/clamav You should be able to just copy the files to the target machine. I'm curious though...

For example, can I do a freshclam on another machine and copy the database file(what is the path?) to a floppy/CD and then copy to the Redhat? Yes, just copy *.cvd files. These files can be located in /var/lib/clamav, /usr/local/share/clamav, ... (packaging dependant). I just do that because I have 4 systems using clamav and want them to be in sync. So I put some glue around freshclam that compares the cvd contents before and after a freshclam run and if a diff is found update the 4 systems using rsync and mail the changes to me (new, removed and updated entries).

Neat idea! I know some might think that's trivial, but others might benefit from the script - I guess you are running it as a cron job? Care to share? could reinvent the wheel, but would like to see if you've done anything else interesting ;-) cheers. m/ --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
