Okay, i apologize for such a basic question, but i guess i've been running clamav 'blind' for some time now!
i installed clamav via the instructions quite a long time ago. i run it via qmail-scanner. clamd is running, and messages are scanned by clamscan. so where does clamdscan come in?? there's very little mention of clamdscan in the documentation. there's a couple of passing comments in the mailing list archive, boiling down to 'clamdscan may or may not have better performance'! my qmail-scanner directives are:
my $clamscan_binary='/usr/local/bin/clamscan'; my $clamscan_options="-r --disable-summary --max-recursion=10 --max-space=250";
the man page for clamdscan says it takes all the same options, so could i just change the $clamscan_binary call to /usr/local/bin/clamdscan and keep rolling along? what are the advantages/disadvantages of using clamdscan vs clamscan?
one of the issues i have currently is that i have two spam/virusscanning proxy servers, of very different architecture, and have been having trouble load balancing between them. neither server is particularly powerful (more below). i'm wondering if the clamdscan process would be more suited to one server over the other.
the two servers:
sparc 20, quad HS125Mhz/256K cache CPUs, 448megs ram. netra T1, single 440Mhz/2MB cache ultrasparc CPU, 512 megs ram.
thanks in advance for any insight.
