During update, I got these warning messages:

> WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
       My latest fedora rpm packages are:
       clamav-0.95.3-1301.fc13.i686
       clamav-update-0.95.3-1301.fc13.i686
       clamav-lib-0.95.3-1301.fc13.i686
       clamav-filesystem-0.95.3-1301.fc13.noarch
       clamav-data-0.95.3-1301.fc13.noarch


> WARNING: Current functionality level = 44, recommended = 53
> DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq
       I read the FAQ and it does not tell me where this setting is set.
       To wit: I found only thee 2 bullets in the faq:
-----------------------------------------
* Starting from ClamAV 0.9x, whenever your ClamAV engine becomes outdated and the difference between the functionality level required by the CVD and the functionality level supported by your ClamAV engine is more than 3, freshclam refuses to check for updates more often than 6 times per day. The reason for this is that there is no use to generate traffic on our mirrors if you cannot take advantage of all the signatures anyway. If you really care about catching as much malware as possible and you want to check for updates more often than 6 times per day, then you should also not run such an old version of ClamAV. This feature was introduced after our mirror sysadmins complained that really old versions of ClamAV were consuming more than 50% of their bandwidth to download some CVD updates that were almost useless to them (due to lack of support for mdb signatures).

            * WARNING: Current functionality level = 1, required =

         o    The functionality level of the database determines which
           scanner engine version is required to use all of its
           signatures. If you don't upgrade immediately you will still
           be able to download the latest CVD updates but the engine
           won't be able to use ALL of them.

-----------------------------------------
             I see nothing about where and how to set this setting.

> WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't find or parse configuration file /path/to/clamd.conf
       Neither could I. I did a full find starting from /
clamd.conf was not even installed. Where do I find one or how do I construct one?
       Furthermore, I thought if clamav should run a daemon, how about
a start/stop script for it in /etc/init.d ?? so that it can be managed by
       the system services?
How about providing a default clamd.conf in either /etc or /etc/sysconfig ???


Best regards,

JD
