I am running Fedora Core 3 and Clamav (via an rpm). Coming from windows into Linux to learn I have some real stupid questions:
I have gone into the running processes (I guess the services?) and see clamav there running along with freshclam, do I do anything else to keep it running? I have edited the freshclam config file to update every 2 hours
If it is already configured to start/stop with the machine, then you have not much else to do.
See if there are log files, like /var/log/clamd.log and freshclam.log. They are only used if the configuration says so, but if you have them then you can see a little of what's going on, for instance freshclam will report each time it checks the virus database.
How do I run a scan that only displays virus infected files? It reckons I have 5
Scan files on the file system? use "clamscan -ri <some-directory>" on a terminal window. For instance to scan your /tmp directory its clamscan -ri /tmp .
Last question, I am running extremail, I do not understand how to configure clamav for smtp servers, I have read the manual but I keep getting confused
I don't know anything about extremail, and from their web site it doesn't look like it can be easily used with clamav, it doesn't have filters or a way to set up external processing software.
So, if I am correct, your choice is to use clamav with an additional tool in front of extremail. There's a list of 3rd party tools at http://www.clamav.net/3rdparty.html , look at ClamSMTP, DSpamPD, Sagator, and maybe others. You probably want to use one that comes in rpm form.
Hope this helps. -- Ren� Berber
