Does the virus scanning engine need to reside on the trusted system? -- 73, Ged. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml

Thanks for the quick replies. I was able to run those tests.

I haven't got any experience with IRIX, but I do wonder: why are you using tits for testing purposes? That seems inappropriate. Everyone else uses canaries! The tits scare too easily and will fly at the slightest sound. Canaries are more reliable.

[clamav-users] Untit Testing
I've recently installed .97.3 on an SGI Origin 3000 running TRIX v6.5.28 using gcc 3.2.1. (I did need to make some source file modifications). I was able to run clamscan against a directory seemingly without error. However, I would like to run some tests which would indicate catching an infected file without actually putting an infected file on our system. This is a totally Trusted Irix environment. I've had problems trying to build the check package as recommended in the ClamAV documentation in this IRIXS environment. Any suggestions as to how run some unit tests that would indicate that an infected file would actually be found? --Dave Reynolds __ ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml

Those are not actual viruses, just the ClamAV-Test-File. Best regards, --Edwin ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
