Good idea, thanks :-) I wrote another mail specific virus test script involving a "tar" ar- chive containing one file which in turn contains the Eicar line. This directly leads to another question: Command "clamscan" has the nice option "--archive-verbose" which causes both, the name of the "tar" ar- chive and the name of the infected file to be output. How does this translate to a configuration specification in file "/etc/clamav/clamav. conf"? Since running "clamscan" on my laptop takes 20+ seconds just to process the virus database, I'd prefer running "clamdscan", provided it could also be tricked into revealing this useful bit of information. And one more question: "clamdscan" provides the option "--config-file". Does the file specified here globally and permanently change the "clamd" daemon configuration and does it replace or just amend file "/etc/clam- av/clamav.conf"?
