Hi,
I've done some research on the best way to integrate it, but hoped
someone could point me to a current document that outlines how to do
this and help me answer some of my questions.
The best way to integrate them is to follow the instructions at Steve's
web site (Sane Security).
Great, thanks. There's an awful lot of work they've done to create
this. I've managed to get the clamav-unofficial-sigs package installed
and it appears to be working correctly so far. A few questions.
Where are the mirrors defined? I've had to add rules through the
firewall the hard way, instead of knowing what the full list are.
The rsync mirror are defined in the script, not the config file.
However, you can find the full list of mirrors by executing:
host rsync.sanesecurity.net
Some of them appeared to fail, although when I run rsync manually they
succeed just fine:
Connection to ns.km33603.keymachine.de 87.118.124.191 failed - Trying
next mirror site...
Maybe the site was down at the time the script ran...?
Running it manually, like this, results in the file list:
# rsync -av rsync://ns.km33603.keymachine.de/
sirupmusic sirupmusic rsync
sanesecurity SaneSecurity Signatures
sanesecurity-update SaneSecurity Signatures (requires authentication)
What is sanesecurity-update? Should I somehow obtain authentication or
just use the regular sanesecurity?
Authentication is not required, you just need to specify the directory
/sanesecurity
Is it possible to configure it to log through syslog, instead of to a
file directly?
Not unless you want to edit the script. I intentionally steered away
from using syslog so as not to pollute any of the existing system log
files, nor did I want to require script users to create a new syslog
facility in order to keep script logging separate.
