No one has access to this machine but the wife, and she is best described as

Not to any "3rd party" database.

The only thing running here that would modify it is freshclam, and I 
have to do that by hand because it won't run when the server is running.

All installed on a Ubu 10.04.4 LTS but running a much newer PAE kernel I
built myself since that fixed kernel, with the RTAI patchkit for running
real time machinery is non PAE & runs itself into swap, gigabytes of it,
in a weeks uptime.  This 3.13.6 PAE kernel is up 28 days, no swap used.

Currently running clamav 98.1.  And sometimes its a month or more before
I remember to go thru the monkey business of running freshclam. IMO the
/etc/init.d/freshclam script needs help.  Or does it... I just looked at
the logs and freshclam is running fine.  And the only thing its updateing
are are

I wonder if its leftovers from an earlier version, I just found this in /var/log

Nuked.

But these are present in the /var/lib/clamav, many with very old dates.

I'll see if the one I just nuked comes back.

So I am not trying to pull your leg, but this is a very old install.
It may have cruft I have long since forgotten.  I will jump to 14.04.1 LTS
when that respin becomes available.  On a freshly formatted drive.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
