Well, whether you run freshclam in daemon mode or whether you run it from cron is still up to you :). This doesn't force people to use freshclam in daemon mode, it just provides them with a standard method of doing so if they choose to (as the PR submitter did). Its a tool, not a policy :). -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
