I did a "sudo freshclam" with the user being generated during install and
ended up with
 
ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile =
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).

the user root does NOT exist on the standard ebox-ISO-install.
 
 
Best regards,
 
Klaus

Betreff: Re: [Ebox-user] Update in the Antivirus Database




same reading on my side :-( As a result I´ßve deactivated the feature (old

virus-patters won´t help a lot).

    

I have the same issue as well. I think  clamav signatures can be

manually updated using freshclam tool. I'll see if I can look into

this tomorrow.

  


"frehsclam" is the tool used to automatically update ClamAV. You can simply
type "freshclam" as root and the database should be updated 
(otherwise you may be missing the clamav-freshclam package).

The "clamav-freshclam" package also contains an init.d script that runs
clamav-freshclam as a daemon, so you shouldn't need to worry about updating
the virus database manually. You can find its log at
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log. Have a look and check if it's running
correctly.

Now, you'll need to sometimes update the ClamAV package itself (you will be
warned about this by freshclam). Ubuntu offers package upgrades often and I
guess you can manually download newer versions. eBox may take care of the
automated upgrade if you use the Software Management module.

In any case, ClamAV FAQ (http://www.clamav.net/support/faq) states that you
should upgrade whenever you see the following message: "WARNING: Your ClamAV
installation is OUTDATED!". However, I think that this is really only
necessary when a new level of functionality is required (and in this case,
ClamAV shows "WARNING: Current functionality level = 1, required = 2"), but
I may be wrong about this. 

I hope it helps. Best regards.
