That's not what he's asking. That only tells you what version of the database clamscan finds and loads when you run it. That doesn't say what version of the database the running clamd is using. clamav-milter prints in the headers which version of the database it's using. sigtool --version prints which version of the database it finds, as does clamd --version. But none of that actually connects to the running clamd and queries the running version. What he needs to do is write a perl script that connects to the local clamd socket and prints "VERSION" and then look at the resulting reply. If only Linux's telnet could talk to a socket like BSD's. It would be so simple. I bet a bit of perl to do that would be pretty simple too. That sounds like a good project... -- Regards...
