Got it ! freshclam hang was related to clamd notification, googling tell about softlimit trouble with clamd. I'm actually running clamd with "exec chpst -uclamav -m 40000000 /usr/sbin/clamd", i will increase this limit and see what happends. I'm surprising getting trouble with limit to 40000000 bytes for just virus database update notification ( no scanning activity, these are hopfully dev vservers). differences between my vservers were due to mistaking clamav database files permissions, sorry about the noise and thank you for your time, please close this bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
