Well, this is to say I really don't remember when I installed any of
those "stable" versions on the site. It's always been CVS since the
very first days I knew about clamav. Before that I was using drweb.

OK. I give you the benefit of doubt myself ;)

Thanks. I will act on that today, though you, being an expert in C,
could have given me some recommendation on values.

No. I don't run Clamuko. Those values just seemed enabled, but Clamuko,
AFAIK, is not for *BSD. Clamuko is DISABLED. Once ClamukoScanOnline is
commented out, the other Clamuko options are of no consequence.

OK.

It's in CVS, an option for clamd. From the combo you run, am I right in
assuming you don't use clamd at all, but only clamdscan??? In that case
then you don't run clamd as a daemon and FixStaleSocket really becomes
irrelevant in your case.

Since you said the former is because of company policy, and the later is
for clamd daemon, I am sure you are alright with those two the way they
are, no?
