Thats what I meant being the "actual state". Why using hardcoded directories if there is a possibility to change it in the config files? > You may want to smylink the old database directory to the new one to > attempt to get sigtool to use the newly freshclam'd virus files.

The best solution is something completely different ;-) ... but that is what I did yesterday to get the clamscan running correctly. > I guess the reason for this is that clamscan expects all arguments on the > command line. Then it would be a better way to use the directory from the config file as default and if the user is giving a command line this renews the setting for this one execution time. That would be much cleaner than the way clamscan (and sigtool) is operating at the moment. > I honestly dont know as i did not develop clamav. But may be some developers are reading this now ;-) ... Let me say that I think clamav is a real good project. My criticism only depends on that one point where the design isn't logical. > This is the exact reason why i suggested renaming clamav.conf to > clamd.conf since clamd is the only program using it. I agree if there is created a clamscan.conf at the same time. The better way in my eyes would be to merge the files and make clamscan using the needed settings from that one. It's just a point of not holding config data redundant.
