Hello Dennis,
Why is it that dead servers remain in the round robin DNS tables for
days on end? I'm using data from http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html as a
basis of dead.
I usually contact the sysadmin immediately after the mirror goes down
and remove them from the RR only if the sysadmin

I WANT to know NOTHING about ClamAV, I wish to remain ignorant. I even
trust the folks who produce RPMs to come up with reasonable defaults for
file locations, max sizes, etc. etc. etc. As _IS_ the case with just

Hello Jim,
Instead the packages need me to learn some of the inner workings of
ClamAV and FreshClam (forget editing the conf files, the packages don't
even seem to work together out of the box), and since I really don't
care about learning this, I'm going to get as far as making it work

What seems entirely bizarre about Fedora's ClamAV packages is that they
don't use freshclam in daemon mode, they use cron to run it. There's a
perfectly good tool provided that does all the necessary things to link
freshclam to clamd, and they don't use it.

For some reason, I have seen more often than I care to think, multiple cron
jobs firing off freshclam and then not hanging up.

You would be wise to uninstall the previous installation so that you don't
end up with split versions. The man pages have not always been consistent
nor have library names, and uninstall (make uninstall) helps prevent this.
This only serves to illustrate the OP's point.
