There's a special option in freshclam (--submit-stats, currently deactivated)
which could help here. When this option is used, fresclam only submits the
statistics *without* touching the database files. You could just run
freshclam --submit-stats=/path/to/clamd.conf
on the hosts that get real traffic. Would that work for you? (if so, we will
activate this option in 0.94.1-final).

 There's a special option in freshclam (--submit-stats, currently

Hi Tomasz, from how I'd use it here, it'd certainly be a good idea to
enable this option.

As a side note, for users of the windows port... they'd normally run
freshclam damonised... and then could run the special freshclam
--submit-stats option every hour (for example) in a seperate job/process.

Just a quick question.. are these stats only for HQ viewing or will there
be a public version at some point, as well?

Built fine but installed with errors on Solaris 9. Solaris has obsoleted

of course it failed. I renamed it and clamav built and installed fine.

Running diff on the new config files and old config files did not reveal

Freshclam has one new option, disabled by default - fairly harmless for
upgrades, but useful for redistributors to note if they handle that sort

I failed to indicate no new options turned on by default - those are the 
ones that seem to create problems for some folks.

The new stats option actually requires a bit of effort to get going if 
one is logging to syslog.

We only have one host in our environment that does freshclam (or any of 
the other virus signature update mechanisms).  It verifies the validity 
of the data (makes sure nothing will die as a result, etc.), and then 
pushes the new data out into a shared data space for the other hosts to 
pick up.  This is done both for our own internal safety/sanity check AND 
to ensure all of our production hosts get the same data at the same 
time.  It also means that no matter how many production hosts we have, 
we only impact each signature site with one database refresh per update 
cycle.

The host in question doesn't get much (if any) traffic, except when 
we're running tests.  So, even then, it only gets synthetic traffic, not 
real traffic.  Meanwhile, the hosts that get real traffic don't run 
freshclam at all.  Nor do we want those hosts to ever run freshclam (at 
least, we don't want them to ever run freshclam for the purpose of 
receiving new virus signatures).

Do you have any thoughts about how we can get the stats to you, so that 
you can use them, without bypassing our mechanism for ensuring 
consistent and safe updating of our virus signatures?

Has anyone seen a problem testing with the contents of test/.split?

In particular 'clamscan test/.split/split.clam.exe.htmlaa' just holds
the CPU at 100% for a long time... I've killed it on two runs.

Same here.
Also with this setup we get logwatch warning messages as follows:

 - clam-update Begin  

 No updates detected in the log for the freshclam daemon (the
 ClamAV update process).  If the freshclam daemon is not running,
 you may need to restart it.  Other options:
 
 A. If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the log file
(default is freshclam.log) will suppress this error message.
 
 B. If you use a different log file, update the appropriate
configuration file.  For example:
   echo LogFile = log_file  /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf
where log_file is the filename of the freshclam log file.
 
 C. If you are logging using syslog, you need to indicate that your
log file uses the syslog format.  For example:
   echo *OnlyService = freshclam  
/etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf
   echo *RemoveHeaders  /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf
 
 -- clam-update End - 

In spite of following the suggestions, these message still come out every day.
We are not running clamd on this server. Could it be that logwatch is checking 
for
something produced by clamd instead of freshclam?
