If you are getting the below messages in your "/tmp/ClamAV.update.log" file then its time to update clamav to take advantage of the latest functionality level:



The below clamav RPMS were recompiled from Source RPMS available from dag.wieers.com on RHEL3 . The process is outlined at: linuxweblog.com

md5sums and RPMS:

* 98e0a922c191dc087d98f843b9d2871e -- clamav-0.84-1.rf.i386.rpm
* 843f2d6fa41a5db8881ac0e59b3ff291 -- clamav-db-0.84-1.rf.i386.rpm
* fd39dce7fbe28b19360f8ef457d0d18c -- clamav-devel-0.84-1.rf.i386.rpm
* dd41858612cbcd8acf19e60c97a37321 -- clamd-0.84-1.rf.i386.rpm

Install via:
# rpm -Uvh clam*.rpm

Note: Since Ensim Pro uses MailScanner only clamav and clamav-db packages are required.

After Install:
1. Merge the "/etc/freshclam.conf" file with the "freshclam.conf.rpmnew" .
2. Remove the daily freshclam cron as MailScanner takes care of updating the ".cvd" database hourly.
3. In MailScanner.conf, check the setting of 'Monitors for ClamAV Updates' to ensure it matches the location of your ClamAV virus database files. (May need to change from "/var/lib/clamav" to "/var/clamav")
4. Restart MailScanner.

Fedora Core 1 :


error: Failed dependencies:
libcom_err.so.3 is needed by clamav-0.84-1.rf
libcom_err.so.3 is needed by clamd-0.84-1.rf

You may want to download the rpms compiled for fedora 1 from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/

FYI, this version of ClamAV is already outdated:

#freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Wed May 11 17:59:50 2005
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.84 Recommended version: 0.85

.84 must have just expired as dag.wieers doesnt have .85 RPM's yet.
Rebis - the upgrade to .85 will as simple as the .84 we just did a few days ago In this case NO config file mods will need to be done.

When you think the rpms will be out?

Dont know the answer to that, but you can keep checking here:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/
he will post them as soon as they are available. Usually pretty quick about it, so i would keep checking over the next few days.

Thanks.

Rebuilt from 0.85 source for RHEL3:

thanks sushil2000,
but i think im going to see if Dag makes his in a few days, as I know for a fact that I dont have any issue installing his rpms.
---just me being consistant

If anyone else jumps on this bandwagon, please let us know

I have used dags spec file with the current 0.85 release to rebuild it.

Also upgraded mine and seems to be doing fine. There were just some bug fixes in the current release.

thanks!

0.85 RPM's = flawless.

Great job, and thanks!

any 0.85 rpm for fedora1?

found this rpm for fedora1, can i upgrade with this package? Anyone tried this package on ensimized clamav?

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idp...t.i386.rpm.html

It shouldn't be a problem and you do not need to change the database path either.

updated using rpm packages from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/clamav/?D=A

but when i did

[root]clamd -V
clamd / ClamAV version 0.75

and idea? clamd service is stopped as well, do i need to start it? if i remember correctly, mailscanner does not need clamd to be running.

using fedora1 with ensim 4.0.3

edit :

Found out about the problem. For those using Fedora1 of ensim, the rpm maintained by dag will install clamav into different folder. So, it's incompatible with ensim fedora1. You will need to get package from here which is compatible :

http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/1/clamav/

can i know how i can retrieve the "freshclam" file in /etc/cron.daily?

I deleted it cause i was using mailscanner but now i need it cause i am using clamav-milter...

thanks in advance.

If you are using dags rpm then the below is what it contains:

New one out today/yesterday.....
ClamAV 0.85.1

get em at dags place

something i found that makes managing this a bit easier:
WebMin module for clamav: http://wbmclamav.labs.libre-entreprise.org/

This looks like a great module but I can't find any info on how to actually install and run it. Can you shed some light on this?

Mark

It's so easy.. go to webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Webmin Modules

Here upload the .wbm.gz clamav module (From uploaded file) then hit Install Module and that's it!!

You will find it under system...

Cheers

cannot restart clamav-milter on my system ( Upgraded to 0.85)

I did it followed the instructions above. When I check the staus it :

# service clamav-milter status
clamav-milter dead but subsys locked


And when restart :

# service clamav-milter restart
Stopping Clamav Milter Daemon: [FAILED]
Starting Clamav Milter Daemon: [ OK ]

and when I checked the status again it still dead :

# service clamav-milter status
clamav-milter dead but subsys locked


I used clamav-0.85.1-1.0.rh7.rf.i386.rpm.

How to fix or enable it. Please anyone...


Thanks.

Unless you're running RH7, I believe you grabbed the wrong rpm.

How do you merge the /etc/freshclam.conf file with the freshclam.conf.rpmnew? is there an easy way or do you have to go in and redo it line by line?

Has to be done manually. However, you may want to diff the files just to check it first.

My favourite is `vim -d file1 file2` which splits the widow with the two files and highlighting the diffs.

I updated clamav with:

clamav-0.85-1.1.fc1.rf.i386.rpm
clamav-db-0.85-1.1.fc1.rf.i386.rpm
clamav-devel-0.85-1.1.fc1.rf.i386.rpm
clamd-0.85-1.1.fc1.rf.i386.rpm

this is what I am getting
ClamAV update process started at Sun Jun 12 17:12:21 2005
WARNING: DNS record is older than 3 hours.

How can I fix the warning

Thank you,

I have a question about step 1. What am I merging exactly? (I've only ever merged with sdiff, and I've done that interactively.) A quick glance shows that I need to change the database dir in /etc/freshclam.conf. Would I be correct in assuming everything else is fine? Could I just manually edit /etc/freshclam.conf for that change? Or am would I be missing new entries.

edit: well, I picked through it manually. anything new in the rpmnew version was commented out. so I'm just going ahead and replacing the old conf with the rpmnew version.

and btw, this is for the latest version (.86.2-1.1.el3), and it also warned of these files"
/var/lib/clamav/main.cvd saved as /var/lib/clamav/man.cvd.rpmsave
/var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd saved as /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd.rpmsave

These files are identical in size. and cmp -s outputs nothing, telling me they are byte identical. so no worries mate!

FYI. I just successfully updated my Ensim server to v0.87 using these instructions.

Seems to me all your base clamav is offline, all I get is errors...

ERROR: md5 sum not found on remote server
ERROR: Can't get viruses.md5 sum from clamav.elektrapro.com

crash.fce is down, too...

I take it that's not for Ensim then coz if it is I haven't a scooby about what your say in repsect to


webmin > webmin config etc....

L.J:
Install webmin first then you can install the module following those instructions.
You can grab the webmin rpm from here: http://www.webmin.com/ just install it like any other rpm. It will not interfere with ensim. Just be careful with some of its modules, as if they are not configured properly, you may inadvertantly break something in ensim. Specifically some of the server modules like apache, sendmail, spamassassin, and a few others.
If you are leary of working in a SSH session, webmin will be your best friend.

last time i installed webmin it broke dns on an ensim box
