[Clamav-users] Please help
I have a loop problem after upgrading clamav (through clamwin) from 0.6x til 0.82 and 0.83. The problem is, that certain low frequency mail files with the virus: Worm.SomeFool.Gen-1 causes the clamscan program to loop infinitely. I have a sample mail file, that causes the problem. I have run this with debug output and sent the whole lot to this list, but the message is hanging in a moderator queue due to size. I then tried to upload the mail file to the virus file input page, but there it was rejected, because it was already a known virus (which is quite right). So how do I report a reproducable problem in clamav including test output and test data ? And a fix or work-around the problem would be appreciated too, as I presently have to kill a looping clamscan probess a couple of times each day. Thank you in advance Best regards Harald Villemoes ___ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users

It's an alternative for clamdwatch, written on Perl from contrib. But none temp files for scanning is created.

Only versions <= 0.60 are no longer usable since they do not support the new database container format. All versions >= 0.65 can be updated, they will however not be able to take advantage of new extensions and signature formats.

This just doesn't work with ClamAV, distributed in source form and being compiled on x platforms and (in part optionally) relying on a bunch of 3rd party libraries.

Re: AW: [Clamav-users] not updating clam
Hi, It is not automatically updating because to update, this needs to happen: 1. download source 2. ./configure --with-your-specific-options 3. make 4. stop clam daemon 5. Maybe stop or pause other programs, like amavisd or your mail server 6. make install 7. Start everything back up. 8. See if it works. If not, backgrade, or rebuild & try again. In short, its just too much to do automagically, unless you want to put in a lot of work to try and automate all that. How about this? Have a script monitor your clamd.log file, looking for the "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED" message, and email you when it pops up again. Then you'll know its time to update clam. That would be easy. Ted --On Tuesday, February 15, 2005 8:22 AM -0500 akshat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I can do that, but please tell me why it is not automatically updating.

Re: [Clamav-users] Re: not updating clam
I can do that, but please tell me why it is not automatically updating. Because this problem might occurs in future also when new version releases. Perhaps you're confused? Clam is updating virus database files, but NOT updating the actual program binaries. This log message is there to let you know that your binaries are not the latest version. This is NOT a message that is logged when new virus definitions are not being downloaded. Unless you require functionality that is needed in a newer version, you do not have to update immediately to 0.83. However, newer versions are capable of catching more types of viruses, and so you may need this functionality without immediately recognizing it. Hope this clarifies, Seth ___ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users

On Mandrake you can make a cron job that says: urpmi.update update_source urpmi --update --auto-select --force If you didn't want all of the other mandrake updates, it would be easy enough to build: urpmi.update update_source urpmi --update clamd --force or even: urpmi.addmedia -f clam ftp://ftp.neocat.com/pub/RPMS/10.1/ then: urpmi.update -f clam urpmi --media clam --auto-select --force But Bill hasn't been maintaining his RPM archive since Mandrake put clamav in the main distribution. I personally would not recommend automatic binary updates, but it can be done.

Re: AW: [Clamav-users] not updating clam
Thanks for reply. But how earlier updates were done automatically , and these update(0.83) is not updated automatically. Any help appreciated. Regards, Akshat Ted Fines writes: Hi, It is not automatically updating because to update, this needs to happen: 1. download source 2. ./configure --with-your-specific-options 3. make 4. stop clam daemon 5. Maybe stop or pause other programs, like amavisd or your mail server 6. make install 7. Start everything back up. 8. See if it works. If not, backgrade, or rebuild & try again. In short, its just too much to do automagically, unless you want to put in a lot of work to try and automate all that. How about this? Have a script monitor your clamd.log file, looking for the "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED" message, and email you when it pops up again. Then you'll know its time to update clam.

[Clamav-users] Broken zlib version?
I've got a mail server here running RH8 (yes, yes I know... :)), and when trying to build clamav 0.83 RPMs it required zlib 1.2.1.2. OK, downloaded the FC3 zlib SRPM, built and installed just fine. However, during configure I get this: WARNING: ** This ClamAV installation may be linked against WARNING: ** a broken zlib version. Please DO NOT report any WARNING: ** stability problems to the ClamAV developers! I've checked that there's no other libz around than the newly installed 1.2.1.2 and that the binaries are dynamically linked against this version (/usr/lib/libz.so.1 which is a link to /usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.1.2). Is this anything I should worry about or a bug in the configure script? (and if so, what kind of stability problems should I be on the lookout for?)

Hello all. I'm currently running a Qmail server on OpenBSD 3.4 that I'd like to hook ClamAV into. Problem is, I'm running into a problem when I do a make. Before it fails with at the end of the attempted make, I receive the following lines: /usr/local/src/clamav-0.83/libclamav/message.c:639: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock' /usr/local/src/clamav-0.83/libclamav/message.c:661: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_unlock' /usr/local/src/clamav-0.83/libclamav/message.c:655: undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_unlock' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/src/clamav-0.83/clamscan (line 294 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/src/clamav-0.83 (line 354 of Makefile). *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/local/src/clamav-0.83 (line 219 of Makefile). There are SEVERAL similar lines to the first three before it. Further up, I also have this curious little message: *** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lbz2. *** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when *** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a *** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have *** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting *** with libbz2 and none of the candidates passed a file format test *** using a file magic. Last file checked: /usr/lib/libbz2.a *** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be *** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library *** or is declared to -dlopen it. *** Since this library must not contain undefined symbols, *** because either the platform does not support them or *** it was explicitly requested with -no-undefined, *** libtool will only create a static version of it. I sense this has something to do with it due to the "undefined reference" messages at the end of the make. Can someone point me in the right direction?

The ClamAV does not make the rpm's. The way open source development usually works is that the source version is released first, and then binary packagers grab the source and build rpm's, deb's or whatever from the source. There is no realistic way for the clam developers to know who each and every person making a binary package out of their source is, so that they can coordinate a release. The system in place works fine, and if you have decent packagers, just wait until they release a new package version. It is the simplest, and it load shares nicely. If you absolutely must have the latest version the second it comes out, I suggest learning CVS and the build tools, or paying someone to stay on top of it for you. I am not trying to be mean, you understand, I am just trying to explain that there is already a system in place that works well. If it does not meet your expectations, you have to adjust either your expectations or your toolset. -- -- | Stephen Gran | If the odds are a million to one| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | against something occurring, chances| | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | are 50-50 it will. | -- pgp6lic3WqV4E.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users

I've tried to compile .82 and .83 and after running 'configure' I try runing make. However I get a "make: no target to make." There is no Makefile in either the 0.82 or 0.83 tarballs. There's a Makefile.in and a Makefile.am but no Makefile. I don't know why this is so hard on openBSD. Anyway, any tips or instructions or binaries for a openBSD 3.6 would be *greatly* appreciated.

RE: [Clamav-users] Broken zlib version?
the versioncheck for zlib isnt the best. suse for example fixes the security hole in 1.2.1 with patches and not with a installation from a new version. forget the warning. >-Original Message- >From: Tarjei Knapstad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 5:08 PM >To: Clamav-users >Subject: [Clamav-users] Broken zlib version? > > >I've got a mail server here running RH8 (yes, yes I know... >:)), and when trying to build clamav 0.83 RPMs it required >zlib 1.2.1.2. > >OK, downloaded the FC3 zlib SRPM, built and installed just fine. > >However, during configure I get this: > >WARNING: ** This ClamAV installation may be linked against >WARNING: ** a broken zlib version.

Get off your butt and build your own binaries - hell, it takes maybe 10 minutes, is repeatable, and you get all the credit. Don't even suggest they put my Solaris source builds in limbo until all the weenies have their little rpm's all bundled up, ribboned, bowed, and ready for a point and click install. This is not rocket science - rocket science is loud and makes smoke trails. Y'all are giving Unix a bad name. dp ___ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
[Clamav-users] System hang using clamuko
Hi, When I include / or /var for on-access scanning with clamuko/dazuko, my system hangs. No problems occur when scanning other filesystems. Does anybody know how why this problem occurs, or how to solve it? /etc/clamd.conf: # Enable Clamuko. Dazuko (/dev/dazuko) must be configured and running. # Default: disabled ClamukoScanOnAccess # Set access mask for Clamuko. # Default: disabled ClamukoScanOnOpen ClamukoScanOnClose ClamukoScanOnExec # Set the include paths (all files in them will be scanned). You can have # multiple ClamukoIncludePath directives but each directory must be added # in a seperate line. # Default: disabled #ClamukoIncludePath / ClamukoIncludePath /usr #ClamukoIncludePath /var ClamukoIncludePath /tmp ClamukoIncludePath /home ClamukoIncludePath /sysman ClamukoIncludePath /fip ClamukoIncludePath /fip/foto ClamukoIncludePath /fip/log ClamukoIncludePath /fip/spool ClamukoIncludePath /fip/spool/users # Set the exclude paths. All subdirectories are also excluded. # Default: disabled ClamukoExcludePath /proc # Don't scan files larger than ClamukoMaxFileSize # Value of 0 disables the limit. # Default: 5M #ClamukoMaxFileSize 10M Kind regards, Jos Michels. ___ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users

How much running around looking for such anomalies do you think these fine developers should do for free? Damn, but this has been a week of whiners.
