Hello,
Is there anywhere to get clamd freshclam file to run as a daemon for
Centos 6 please, so the service can be stopped and started, etc.
I have this for Centos 7 but is systemd residing in
/lib/systemd/system/clamd-freshclam.service, which does not work for
Centos 6:
As we have already said,
*** systemd and ansible are not part of CentOS 6 ***
Instead CentOS 6 uses
/etc/init.d/clamd
You haven't mentioned your platform and clamav is not an official
part of RHEL/CentOS so I cannot give links to specific packages.
To my mind the "official" way would be to use the epel repo
(Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
As Graeme said, you would want at least the
clamav and clamav-db
packages, but they wont give you the latest version of clamav.
But, seriously, if you are that new to CentOS 6 it is far too late
to start. RHEL/CentOS/SL6 was a great distribution (possibly the best
linux release ever) but at ten years old I would not recommend it
even if it still had support beyond next week.
If there are applications and data you still have not moved
onto a newer OS, I would put them on a containerized version
of CentOS6 and use the host OS to provide anti-malware services.
