Title: Clam Mirrors
Post by: GlitchFreak on September 25, 2008, 08:06:51 PM

Hey there

Is there a way to add a custom mirror to ClamAV so that it can update from a local site instead?

Thanks!

Ah, /etc/freshclam.conf

But you'll need to create a custom template to make the changes.

Code: [Select]

cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/
mkdir freshclam.conf
cd freshclam.conf
vi DatabaseMirror

Add:

Code: [Select]

DatabaseMirror your.closest.server.tld
DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
ESC
:wq!

Reason you add the second and third entries is becasue they overwrite the originals. So for a failsafe, leave them in.

To finish up:

Code: [Select]

expand-templates /etc/freshclam.conf

To check if the entries are in:

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/freshclam.conf

Lastly

Code: [Select]

sv restart /service/freshclam

No. There is a continuously running freshclam. To restart it (actually, so terminate it, so that a new copy is started in its place, do:

sv t /service/freshclam

or

sv restart /service/freshclam

Thanks Charlie.

I forgot that there is a daemon running and I need to terminate it in order to load up the new config
