Followup - After running for several hours last night, I did get notifications about new virus definitions loading right when freshclam downloaded them. So this appears to be working, although I don't know why the initial freshclam update did not generate a notice.
I still do not have self check notices in my log files however, and I have requested a self-check every 600 seconds at this point until I figure this out. Could it be that clam isn't actually doing anything right now so it isn't self-checking? When I start running mail through this thing will it start logging these messages? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Spurlock Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 11:58 PM To: clamav-users@lists.clamav.net Subject: [Clamav-users] clamd not logging freshclam notifications I just installed 0.86.2 on a test box, both as an RPM and compiled from source. In both cases, I am not seeing any notifications in the clamd.log file for self-checks or notifications of new virus signatures from freshclam. I am used to seeing these messages from earlier versions of clam, and did not see any notes they had been removed in the changelog. Should these be working? Can I confirm that clamd is using the newest signatures? My clamd.conf does contain: LogFile /var/log/clamav/clamd.log LogVerbose SelfCheck 600 freshclam.conf contains: NotifyClamd /etc/clamd.conf I'm not so worried about this minor "glitch" as long as I can confirm that the running clamd DOES in fact get the updates. When I type clamd -V it does report the correct database version, but does that actually mean the running daemon has the changes? Thanks!
