I'm working on running a version of clam (0.92.1 compiled from official source) off a flash drive, including storing the database files there. It works, but the signature count is wrong.
Running: /mnt/usbdisk/freshclam --datadir=/mnt/usbdisk Gives: main.cvd is up to date (version: 45, sigs: 169676, f-level: 21, builder: sven) daily.cvd is up to date (version: 6322, sigs: 63470, f-level: 26, builder: sven) 169676 + 63470 = 233,146 which is correct (as I write this) according to the clam website. But, running: /mnt/usbdisk/clamscan -l log.txt -r -i --database=/mnt/usbdisk/ /mnt/hda1 gives a summary with "Known viruses: 232534". Why does known viruses not equal 233,146? There are error messages running either command. -- Fail to learn history-repeat it. Fail to learn rights-lose them. Learn both-get screwed by previous two groups. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
