Hi,
the clamd docs say quite clearly that it is necessary to either send
the RELOAD command to the daemon or to send SIGUSR2 to the daemon to
have it reload the database.
However, the VERSION command and clamdscan -V report the new database
version immediately after putting the new databases in place.
This looks to me like either
(1) VERSION is lying and not reporting the database version that the
daemon actually uses or
(2) RELOAD is unnecessary (at least in current daemon versions)
If (1) is correct, how do I find out which database version the daemon
is using for scanning?
If (2) is correct, could please the docs be updated to clearly state
that RELOAD is currently unneeded but might be neede in a future
daemon version and that it is recommended that database RELOAD is
issued to the daemon after touching the databases?
Thanks for the clarification.
Greetings
Marc
