Re: [Clamav-users] FreshClam claims installation is OUTDATED
Hello Olivier, I googled, search in clamav mailing list archive, but didn't find any answer. The answer is here : WARNING: Local version: 0.96 Recommended version: 0.96.1 # rpm -qa | grep clam clamav-db-0.96-3.el5.rf clamav-0.96-3.el5.rf clamd-0.96-3.el5.rf The solution : upgrade your clamav.

Clamd's cpu usage shotup to an average between 400% and 500%(8 cpu's), even though the amount of virusses did'nt increase that much. Any ideas? There is a small patch about clamav 0.90.2 that fix this kind of usage.

Re: [Clamav-users] GNU MP2 NOT FOUND / NO SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL SIGNATURES
Hello, A problem emerged with release 0.90 under FreeBSD 6.0, that involved an error message in the configure process of form: GNU MP2 or newer NOT FOUND - digital signature support will be disabled! [...] Unfortunately, this fix does not seem to have been picked up by the clamav development crew, because it is still with us in release 0.90.2. Is this just an oversight, or is there more to the problem than it seems? I have used 0.90, 0.90.1 and now 0.90.2 using freebsd ports and I have no warning like that. FreeBSD 6.0 is IMHO a bit old and more less unstable I saw personaly, I think you should upgrade to 6.2...

Re: [Clamav-users] Clamdmon.sh
Hi ! I am amazed at the number of people here that apparently not using SOMETHING to monitor clamd. Esp. when the developers include a nice script to check and restart clamd. Montioring sensitive service is a normal process in a production environement IMHO. I run three different mail servers and quickly found clamdmon and just a bit of PERL programming created a means of being notified of an issue. Yes, you have to have a means of being notified 'out of band'. But if you are serious about uptime, you need to know promptly when a mail server is not processing email and at that point you cann't depend on that email server to tell you it's broken. As several administrators I know a general tool like monit can do this job very well and even restart clamd when it is blocked with a biiig mail sometimes. There is even examples on monit website to show how to do that. /Xavier ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
Re: [Clamav-users] clamav fills /var/tmp folder with its temporary files
Hello, My server is getting hanged because clamav fills /var/tmp folder with its temporary files. Its taking more than 22GB of disk space and it happens twice this month . I am using Centos 4.4 Linux 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp i686 i686 and ClamAV 0.90.1/2937/Mon I have double checked my configuration file and the LeaveTemporaryFiles option is disabled in it . Why its happening like this and what is its solution ? Hope I will get a reply soon. This is strange. I don't have such way of runnning on FreeBSD. But by the way, why don't you install tmpreaper for example to auto clean /var/tmp et /tmp directories ? I do the same on all my servers to avoid diskspace problems (as well on some amavisd-new directories to auto cleanup things that have to be cleaned sometimes). /Xavier ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
Re: [Clamav-users] clamd on FreeBSD with linuxthreads?
If nobody has negative experiences, I will probably give this a spin and report back to the list if there is interest. I think the biggest problem is not the default threads in FreeBSD 4.x, I believe that a lot of problems with threads is the FreeBSD 4.x libc_r functions, which most of them are not thread safe and just aliases to functions in libc. I don't know if this helps but I've port installed the GNU portable threads lib and compiled/linked against that and it seems to work fine. Humm ... What about using FreeBSD 5.2.1 and set in /etc/make.conf : PTHREAD_CFLAGS?= PTHREAD_LIBS?=-lkse ... Works like a charm for me /Xavier -- Xavier Beaudouin - Unix System Administrator Projects Leader.
