OK, everyone. On my CentOS 5 main and test servers, I deleted the old database files and ran freshclam.
After the files had downloaded, I restarted clamd without re-enabling it in simcontrol to see if the compile errors started up again. After a few runs through clam's self check, no errors present, so I re-enabled clam in simcontrol and everything is operating as it should be. I'm going to stay up for a bit and watch it, but I think the latest daily build has fixed things. Come Monday, it's time to find a new server and start preparing to set up a new toaster. Stay safe out there. > On Mar 4, 2017, at 12:00 AM, Sean P. Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Tony, > > This is an issue with a signature in the daily clamav database update.
