That's like saying that SMTP and POP3 (or IMAP) go together, so they should both log to the same file in the same format.... I don't think an anti-virus scanning daemon and a virus signature library updater should be expected to produce the same sort of output - one is concerned with scanning files and reporting on the contents; the other is connecting to external servers and downloading files. The expected results, and the possible errors, are very different. > Freshclam should support logging via syslogd (as clamd already does). That seems like a reasonable request.
