Folks, Edwin's Webinar given last week on the topic of best practice and common pitfalls in ClamAV is now available for download from http://www.sourcefire.com/resources/CAV-webcast-access.
The presentation covers common pitfalls in the deployment of ClamAV, such as permissions, resource limits and build issues. It then recommends best practices for logging, scan limits, SMP systems, usage of PUA, setting up freshclam, using ClamAV on more hosts on your network and submitting detection statistics, followed by an overview of the engine configuration flags found in 0.94.1. Finally the presentation describes a recommended upgrade procedure, showing best practices to avoid common pitfalls: reviewing configuration changes, testing the new version before deployment and restarting the daemons. The presentation slides will be available soon from www.clamav.net. I will make an announcement when they are. We are always interested in topics for talks, and we are also open to volunteers from the open source community who wish to give a talk. Contact me either by email or by phone. -Nigel _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
