Re: [clamav-users] virus.db2 checksum

[Peter Bonivart]

Strange, I get another checksum than you do, but still different from 
the "correct" one. The files have the same timestamp on the ftp server 
so it's not that one file is old, more likely someone just made a 
mistake. It will probably be fixed tomorrow. Don't worry, ClamAV isn't 
your only defense, is it? :)

You can calculate MD5 checksums yourself, on Linux systems anyway.  The 
command is just 'md5sum <filename>'.  The checksum I get for viruses.db2 
is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# md5sum viruses.db2
55955463c72c1ef803ef05c8a3cc9aa2  viruses.db2

I don't know what good this does us, however.  You could go into the 
source code and recompile freshclam to ignore the md5 checksum, but that 
is a REALLY bad idea.

Either the viruses.db2 file needs to be updated on the web site, or the 
md5 checksum does.  Unfortunately we can't do either.
