I run F-secure Linux Srever Security v5.52 6200 on a server wich is not connected to the internet.

Since I can not use the automatic update feature I will need to manually download the latest.zip file and update the virus definition databses manually.

But here comes my problem.
If I extract latest.zip to the folder: latest-30OCT07
and the run the dbupdate command like:

# dbupdate latest-30OCT07
I get the output as shown below:

-------------------------------------
F-Secure Security Platform
F-Secure Virus Description Database Update

Copyright (c) 1999-2007 F-Secure Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Nothing updated

-------------------------------------

I could as well have run dbupdate with an empty directory.

Does anybody know what is wrong here or what I could do differently.

Thanks

It appeared that latest.zip was not compatible with running f-secure on a stand alone off-line host.

fsdbupdate should be downloaded and run manually instead.

And then the on-line awareness of the f-secure configuration files should be disabled (i.e. #'ed out).

This made the update possible.
