I just confirmed that the Windows builds of ClamAV 0.99.2 will fail to start ClamD if a "local.ign2" file exists in the database folder that (naturally) was created under Windows, using the standard Notepad applet.
The default newline sequence for Windows is CR+LF. The default newline sequence for Unix is LF. (I think previous versions of Apple's operating systems had yet other combinations, but that may no longer be an issue with OS/X and/or iOS) The problem appears to be that ClamAV is not properly looking for any newline sequence to, but rather is hard-coded to expect signature names being separated by a single LF character, and will report a "Malformed database" if any other newline character is encountered in local.ign2. One I installed and used a suitable third-part software in place of the standard Windows "Notepad", I finally was able to create a file with UNIX-style line endings, and then ClamD was able to start again. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
