People
Apologies if this is a double post but I had some issues with mailman at
this end :(
I have just installed v0.92.1 of ClamAV and run up the clamd process.
The log files are filling up with "Database has not changed" messages.
The messages are every 10 seconds, as can be seen by the snippet
Thu Mar 6 14:05:37 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:05:47 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:05:57 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:06:07 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:06:17 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:06:27 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:06:37 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:06:50 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:07:00 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:07:10 2008 -> Database has not changed
Thu Mar 6 14:07:20 2008 -> Database has not changed
The .conf file has settings shown in the snippet below, some of them I
changed to hardcode the defaults while trying to troubleshoot.
Note other messages in the log such as freshclam notifications, email
scans, virus detected are all appearing OK.

My thoughts were the Verbose and Debug logging which I have forced to
no.
Running on openSUSE 10.3 which is within a VMware session.
Any other thoughts?
Cheers
Jim
