Topic: Set a proxy for ClamAV

[Alderaan]

Hi there,

I connect to the Internet via a proxy, so ClamAV needs to be configured this way.

Everything works fine when I set my proxy in the freshclam.conf file but I have to change the template in order to keep the settings after a reboot.

My problem is that I don't know how.

There are the settings I put in my freshclam.conf :

Code: [Select]

HTTPProxyServer 10.200.1.40
HTTPProxyPort 8080

And this is the template's freshclam.conf :

Code: [Select]

# Proxy settings

    $OUT = '';

    for ( qw(Server Port Username Password) )
    {
        my $name = "HTTPProxy$_";

        next unless $clamav{$name};

        $OUT .= "$name $clamav{$name}\n";
    }
{

Could someone please tell me how to do ??

No you don't.

config setprop clamav HTTPProxyServer 10.200.1.40
config setprop clamav HTTPProxyPort 8080
runsvctrl t /service/freshclam

Wow...

Quick, short, efficient.

Thanks a lot !!

config setprop clamav HTTPProxyServer 10.200.1.40
config setprop clamav HTTPProxyPort 8080
runsvctrl t /service/freshclam

Don't we need to expand the template before restarting the service? Like so?

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/freshclam.conf
runsvctrl t /service/freshclam

Hi Guys,

I cannot seem to get this to work!

I have followed the instructions above remembering to expand-template too.

The settings show up in my freshclam.conf correctly but it won't work!

The complication though is that I am needing to authenticate against the proxy server (Messagelabs filtering).

So I also ran;

config setprop clamav HTTPPassword ******

and

config setprop clamav HTTPProxyUsername *****

and set these correctly.

But it just won't connect, all I ever get is;

What am I doing wrong please?

Is it the authentication aspect that is causing the error?

I am also having no luck with the YUM settings and I guess will need to set this for RKhunter too so need to sort this out.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
