If you have a stand-alone system with no networking and presumably no shared storage (scsi or SAN, by example) then you have to span the air gap manually. Your isolated system will only be as safe as the last networked system used to manually span the air gap. A work-around for that is to have a

Maybe I didn't state my point clearly enough. Apparently, my siting http as something I wanted to avoid made you think that it was http in particular that I object to. Not so. It is networking in general I'm trying to avoid. Did you notice that I said the target machine is not on any kind of ne

Please read the solutions a bit more closely. The HTTP portion of some of those solutions is to bring the database to the local mirror. Since you have already said you plan to burn optical disks and manually install them on the private mirror, that should not be an issue. From there you can j

I *did* read the private local mirrors stuff. It offers 3 alternative solutions, all of which require http. If you'll read my original post more carefully, you'll see that that is what I'm trying to avoid. On Wed, Jul 22, 2015 at 2:22 PM, Al Varnell wrote: > See Private Local Mirrors:

I'm considering using clamav on a machine that is not (can not be) on the network (any network, not even a local one). I have a few ideas for how to get virus definition updates onto the machine, but none of them is quite perfect. All of them start with getting on an online computer and pulling t
