Tomasz Thanks for the reply. Running freshclam did not solve the problem as freshclam is updating the virus databases to /var/lib/clamav (when it works - I'm the poor sod who is suffering the Novel proxy and the freshclam timeouts) but clamscan from ClamAV version devel-20040129 is looking for the database files in /usr/local/share/clamav. Please note: labserver:/var/lib/clamav# /usr/local/bin/freshclam --version freshclam / ClamAV version devel-20040129 so I am trying to run the correct version of freshclam (I have also checked that no other versions of freshclam exist on this machine). I haven't looked into why this should be so, possibly a hang over from the last cvs version I tried (clamav-devel-20031027) or the deb package I tried (clamav-0.60-10)? I did remove the deb package before building ClamAV version devel-20040129. Nothing untoward is reported in the freshclam logs, However I did notice that /var/lib/clamav is filling up with some "oddly" named files, see below. labserver:/var/lib/clamav# ls -l total 6720 -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 671587 Feb 2 09:40 2c32ffb6a337ad59 -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 671587 Feb 2 08:30 4eaeb04bd4770881 -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 671587 Jan 29 09:26 8835d2dfdc4bef4a -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 671587 Feb 1 08:30 b87c6dfd6063782b -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 671587 Jan 31 08:30 c40b5d04fa707af2 -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 671587 Jan 30 08:30 de3d62fa67305fe9 -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 1037239 Jan 29 09:05 e03647661b51a6e7 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 212 Jan 28 11:39 mirrors.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 1762362 Jan 28 16:03 viruses.db.orig -rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 7929 Jan 28 16:33 viruses.db2.orig The two *.orig files were my attempt to force freshclam to perform a download as though for a new installation, but I was defeated by our Novel proxy! Anyway, I'm up & running again so thanks for the tip. I'll try out the snapshot on our archives.
