Please forgive me if I somehow missed the answer to this question. I did thoroughly search all of the mail archives (including gmane, gossamer, etc) and though some of the tools have somewhat decent search criteria available, I was unable to find a solution. I was hoping not to have to post anything.
I am running Mandrake 10.1 with all mdk updates applied as of this message. I am running clamav 0.80 with the latest virus database updates. The RPM is release 5.1.101mdk, to be exact. Problem: When I run clamdscan (which uses the daemon), it generates zillions of errors in the clamd.log file something like "Directory recursion limit exceeded at /home/hal/.tvtime". However, when I run clamscan (which does not use the daemon, right?), it does not generate these errors as far as I can tell. I am using the default recursion of 20 levels, so I think I should be ok. Searching through the mail archives, I found some similar errors that were corrected in later releases of clamav, per the mailing list responses. These were back in 2003; I did not see any more recent message posts. (In fact, I only found 5 matches for the exact error message.) Again, I apologize to all if I somehow missed a message addressing this issue. A sidenote: The clamdscan program disregards many clamscan options because it uses the daemon. The "-r" option is needed for clamscan or it does not scan subdirectories. However, clamdscan seems to automatically trigger recursion when calling the daemon to do its work. This seems asymetrical to me, but perhaps you can educate me why it is this way. Thank you, Hal PS How rude of me! I forgot to say: Excellent software set. I like the idea of being able to protect my Linux boxes from destruction. _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
