Chris, I haven't had RDJ pull down Bogus Virus Warnings for a while now, since I was unable to correct the 500 error code problem, and it would cause SA to role back all of the updating that had just been done. Now, I run wget to download Bogus. I should probably script that, but it sure would be nice if RDJ could handle the chore, since that's what it's for. I'm casting no aspersions upon anyone for the problem, but if you're experiencing it, then either we both have a misconfiguration, or there is an issue somewhere. Sorry I can't help with it. Dimitri
