Topic: Freshclam status

[ddougan]

I'm getting multiple freshclam out-of-date messages daily on several servers, and have posted a bug (4453) on the issue. Can anyone comment on the likely availability of an updated clam engine?

Thanks,

any help ?

Thanks for the reply. The link is not of much help - all my servers are up to date as far as clam is concerned. I'm hoping for feedback re availability of the current version.

Perhaps expand a little on your problem

I suggest you to wait for the updates to be released or, if you want/can, help the developers

This is a bit interesting,

I have a couple of servers that show the following:

Code: [Select]

[root@testserver ~]# rpm -qa | grep clam
smeserver-clamav-1.2.0-21.el4.sme
warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature
clamav-db-0.93-2.el4.rf
clamd-0.93-2.el4.rf
clamav-0.93-2.el4.rf
None of them send e-mail notices that clam is out of date, However, freshclam gives the following:

Code: [Select]

[root@testserver ~]# freshclam

As you can see the database is up to date but scanning engine is not at the latest build. You will find that we run a week or two behind ClamAV on pushing the engine updates. If you think about the process a bit, this is only reasonable. After ClamAV releases their final package it needs to be packaged for SME.
