[Clamwin-users] Clamwin 0.90 update signatures issue

[Bill M. <bil...@el...>]

Hi
We've been using clamwin 0.88.7 with an internal signatures server 
containing main.cvd and daily.cvd loaded via freshclam from clamav 0.90 
with the setting:
ScriptedUpdates no

Now on upgrading to clamwin 0.90 it tries to update via diff files first 
  and fails, but finally falls back to using the cvd files.

Is there any setting to bypass the diff lookup, so all my users don't 
get frightened?

Cheers
Bill

Try to do another update, it should be back to normal since it gets it 
the first time.

I see that you use local intranet for updates, then you should also copy 
all the diff files from clamav database site.

Having thought about that we will remove the cdiff not found warnings in 
the next update. IN the meanwhile you can either ignore the warning 
message or copy cdiffs to your local db server.

The clamav people recommend that you *don't* use the diffs for internal 
replicators. The diff method is only for when you access their servers 
or official mirrors directly.

Anyway, thanks for your help, and we can live with the warnings for the 
time being.

Also, thanks for providing clamwin. It really helps in a mixed 
Linux/Windoze environment.

Cheers
