[Clamav-users] FreeBSD install of 0.96

Hello list,

Is FreeBSD (8.0-STABLE) to blame for this one?

Well, looks like a random failure. I tried a rebuild and not it died with
sig 11.

What I am finding quite strange is the time it takes to build on FreeBSD. I
am upgrading on two systems (6.4 and 8.0) and for the first time ever,
building takes not minutes it takes hours but that's could be coz
the port maintainer decided that gcc 4.2+ needs to be used...

Let me see if any of the systems will complete the process.

0.95.3 did not take this long:)

Okay.

So I start another build process and see what error is next? I think even
before the same check failed.

Surprise, surprise! I did make check and nothing failed this time. Then
instead of going through the whole process of portupgrade again, I just did
cd ../../ && make deinstall && make install clean and now I have 0.96
running!

Not to answer your question but those people should upgrade to FreeBSD 6.4,
at least. There is no good reason to get stuck at 6.2.

I don't quite expect a major change for such a minor version revision. I
also do check the port configs before upgrading and even then I _must_ have
considered the reasons I want to upgrade, so checking the port config is one
of those considerations. What I meant was that in this particular case,
there was no such requirement (for me).

Thank you everyone.

I have FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE. I have just updated from 0.96.2 to 0.96.3 and now
clamd won't start, giving segfault.

Thanks. Given that my clamd uses Foreground already, all I need is to get a
crash.

Oddly enough, after doing a  pkg_delete -dfv clamav\* (I'm in bash) and then
doing 'portinstall -N clamav' (I already have the config I use so no need
for make config), clamd has now started fine.

I used portupgrade to move from 0.96.2 to 0.96.3 and I believe portupgrade
takes care of all that.
Given that the compile was successful, I believe the port maintainer is off
the hook on this one, unless he applied a funny patch.
So let me go debugging, but not before using your pkg_delete -dfv clamav\*
and reinstalling, just for the kicks!

Hi Luca,

I have used ClamAv for a long time and it's the one that made me discover
daemontools.
Now, I really love ClamAv but I don't see how this script would add value to
it, especially when pit against apps such as
daemontools.

I can test it for you, but please tell me what I need to look for, what kind
of feedback you'd like to see.

I am now running it on FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE... I used the port infrastructure
to install it, by cheating:-)
I created a clamav-0.96.5.tar.gz from the tarball and then cheated the
system that I have a new port version. Hopefully, there is not much change
from 0.96.4 as far as the FreeBSD port is concerned, so it us running, so
far ..

Congratulations to the ClamAV Team on this anniversary!!

I remember when I first encountered ClamAv and how quickly we were able to
(with the support of this great team) migrate to it from DrWeb.
I still use ClamAV todate and has never considered anything else to use
with Exim!!

Kudos!!

Wrong! You simply did ignore a lot of things. Next time you want to install
anything from source, make sure that you read the INSTALL/README/*
literature that comes packed with the source.
Once you do that, you should be able to see whether you need to run
`configure` with options or to first bootstrap the source. Then you should
read the  various options to `configure`. An easier
way of doing that is to run ./configure --help > build.sh
Look at that file named build.sh (you can name it anything you want, btw)
and edit the various options in there to your preference, according to the
way you understand them, and want your app to behave.
Many a times you will need to create a user and a group under which the app
should run, and this is while taking into consideration how the app will
integrate with other apps, e.g. clamav and the MTA.

That is what I always do whenever installing from source. You will always
find a build.sh that I create myself for reuse with that app and which I
always forget to edit sometimes as options are changed
across versions and which has always bitten me so badly at times. That is
why you're better off using the ports to install applications.

[Clamav-users] clamd looping

2008-11-09 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Hello list

Long time since I was around here, but I have continued running Clamav
anyway and I have been happy until today.
On a very old OS (FreeBSD-5.5) I have always successfully compiled Clamav
from the ports by editing the ports Makefile and changing
--enable-gethostbyname_r to --disable-gethostbyname_r.
I updated from clamav-0.93.3 to 0.94.1 and now I can observe from the
clamd.log that clamd is continuously restarting... nonstop!
This is NOT happening on newer versions of FreeBSD (6.4 and 7.x) though.
Is there a way to arrest (I mean resolve) this situation other than
downgrading back to 0.93.3?

I encountered a problem with 0.94.1 on FreeBSD-5.5, but in my case, I
compiled it from the ports. Yes, the ports has it.
My problem is that clamd kept on restarting indefinately. This was not
happening with 0.93.3. So after pulling off so much of my hair , and posting
to the list and getting no responses, I decided to manually compile and see.
I used the following configure options:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-group=clamav \
--disable-clamuko --with-user=mailnull \
--disable-gethostbyname_r \
--disable-zlib-vcheck \
--disable-clamav \
--enable-bigstack \
--enable-readdir_r \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
--disable-bzip2

Strangely, after I installed, it was able to run without the endless
restarting. I don't know what is in the ports that did this, but I think
it's not the ports. Rather it's something in 0.94.1. Not sure though,

I use Exim, as opposed to Postfix, so if you decide to try my way, be very
careful with the "--with-user=mailnull".

Not sure if that will help, but I am so far happy.

As regards upgrading from FreeBSD-5.5 as some may ask, I already have a
7.1-PRERELEASE which will replace this server. I am gonna migrate all the
services.

Hi Jürgen

Please use cvsup or csup to upgrade your ports tree. I use csup via cron and
I have never had a major problem, except where the OS version has been an
issue when compiling a port, like I had with this version of Clamav.
Give portsnap a break for now if it doesn't help you.

FreeBSD ports update does NOT affect the system at all! You are damn wrong
on this, to an extent I think you are not that familiar with FreeBSD.
I am offering you one thing: Give me access to your system and I will fix
whatever it is that the update of the ports tree breaks.

Not possible, except for those related to Clamav. Not system libraries.
I've only used FreeBSD since 1999 and I make a livng out of building servers
from it.
My offer stands though. It doesn't mean anything. I just want to help.
The changes to the Makefile that were posted work very well.

In my setup, I use /var/db/clamav as opposed to  /usr/local/share/clamav and
there is no stats.dat file anywhere.
Whatever the case, I have bit the bullet and did:

gw# cp /dev/null /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
gw# freshclam -v
Current working dir is /var/db/clamav
Max retries == 5

Perhaps:

cd /usr/ports/security/clamav
make config  # Remove the EXPERIMENTAL bit
portupgrade -f clamav && freshclam -v

Then see if the message goes away.

I am seeing something different though (FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE):

*** MailMaxRecursion is DEPRECATED ***
*** ArchiveMaxFileSize is DEPRECATED ***
*** ArchiveMaxRecursion is DEPRECATED ***
*** ArchiveMaxFiles is DEPRECATED ***
*** ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio is DEPRECATED ***

I am not sure why clamconf is spewing those, yet they are not in my
clamd.conf

Ok. You can blog about this somewhere away from the list. There's not much
than an individual person in this list can do. Someone must fight the fires
and evacuate the people. Just praying alone wouldn't help.

I'm sorry for the families that have lost loved ones.
One thing worries me though: These bush fires are like an epidemic in Oz,
that has no cure?
Every year I hear about the bush fires in Oz, much like an epidemic without
medicine. Oz govt can create fire barriers around places inhabited by
people, no?

Then there are the California fires.

No. You just miss the point! The Oz fires are not of "global" importance.
If they were, the 130+ Kenyans who lost their lives to a fire explosion
following a fuel tanker accident would also be seen in the global
perspective.
The Clamav community is a global community, dealing with issues related to
Clamav _ONLY_, not other things from every side of the world. That is
nothing to do with callousness.

Am I wrong in thinking this way? That:

You are wasting your bandwidth running freshclam (well, at some point the
virus db files are upto date so no data is tx-ed to your box) all the time.
You are making the database servers use cpu time that could be used for other
purposes. Nothing personal here though, just a question. ;)

What is the $HOME of your clamav user? /root ???
I got such an error once when the owner of that $HOME was different than
the "User amavis" directive (in your case).
I solved it by

cd /usr/local/share/clamav
chown -R amavis .

[I am using your User]

When clamav is installed in my FreeBSd system, the clamav user has the
home in /usr/local/share/clamav. YMMV.

hehee, time to drop Sendmail on the floor and get an easier to use

Do rpms come with a file name README or INSTALL or HOWTO?

Ok. Something  like this will help...

find / -name "clamav.conf -exec cp /etc/ {} \;
find / -type f -name "clamav.conf" | xargs cp /etc/clamav.conf

You have to edit that file once it is /etc and comment out the line
with 'Example'.

Yeah. I think my hands were faster than my brain in this. Thanks for the
correction. But surely, there was none in /etc previously, no?
I did not stop to think about a hostile user. You are right about this
but users with shell access on production systems _must_ be disciplined
users, otherwise they will put your ass on fire;)

[Clamav-users] ScanMail (upteenth time)

2003-12-11 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Hello Antiviruslikes,

Can someone clarify to me whether or not ScanMail is an option that one
can be enabled in clamav.conf and still get some sleep?
I run ClamAv (CVS), but the version does not matter here. I also run on
FreeBSD.
Everytime I uncomment ScanMail in clamav.conf, I do not sleep at all,
unless I switch of my mobile phone and play armadillo ;-)
The same happens when I switch on ScanRaR.
Despite the fact that I run clamd under daemontools, this doesn't seem
to matter because when clamd dies, it dies for good.

To be able to make some final decisions (without necessarily looking at
the code, which for sure I wouldn't understand), can someone kindly take
a minute to explain to me whether

1. It's sane to enable those options (under FreeBSD, *BSD)
2. Does anyone run with those options in other *nix versions?
3. Do they get problems like I do?
4. Is there an explanation for the problems I see under FreeBSD?
   (I'm sure someone will say broken threads support).

As of today, I am running ClamAV version devel-20031211.
I enabled 'Process support'.

In a production env, I have reasons to ask all these, so bear with me.

I _must_ say that the server where I have had the problem is my primary
mx. It's a 4.9-STABLE box. The mail load processed on this server is, on
average, something like below:

Exim statistics from 2003-12-10 00:00:00 to 2003-12-10 23:55:40
Grand total summary
---
TOTAL   VolumeMessages   Domains Edomains
Received2383MB   55401  5219 9496
Delivered   3103MB   65088  3185 4631

Looks like it's twice your volume, but that should not be the problem afaiac.

Is it possible that some params in my clamav.conf (other than the ScanMail,
ScanRaR) are causing the failure? BTW, you haven't said what version you are
running. Could you kindly send your clamav.conf off list?

[Clamav-users] Segfault without trace?

2003-12-18 Thread Odhiambo Washington

Hi,

I guess guys are preparing for Christmas so not so much activity on this
list ;)
I am running clamav-devel-20031211.

It has died just a few minutes ago, and not ever the supervise daemon
could revive it.

When I checked on clamd.log, all I see is:


Thu Dec 18 16:09:17 2003 -> Segmentation fault :-( Bye..

I am running with Debug on. I do have the debug log but unfortunately I
cannot discern anything from it, because I see no time stamp in it.

Is there anything else I need to provide to help with this situation?
Where do I look?

See the documentation on the website, specifically:

http://www.clamav.net/doc/html/node13.html

You need to read the whole documentation though, as it seems you never
did. Spend some time going through it to the end. It's not so big.

Since the cvs servers are acting up, could you kindly post a tarball of
the "latest" to the list. The lastest snapshot on the website is
non-conformant with your assertion.

"You must select server type (local/TCP) in /usr/local/etc/clamav.conf" ;)

Look at that file and comment out the line that has:

TCPSocket 3310

(My recommendation). YMMV.

By reading the FreeBSD HandBook , the section that deals with fetching
ports via "cvsup" ;)

At least those are in the HandBook =)

Anyway, nothing is so wrong with the way you run now, Running CVS is
okay. I do it here everyday.

I do the same, but I am particular about the options I pass to
configure.

Me does that too.

Yeah.

Since I mostly use CVS code, I always seem to need to delete the old
clamav libs before the new source code compiles.

These files will be overwritten by the new ones, I believe, so no need
to do unistall.

You are on the right path, but again, I am not that familiar with the
way linux works. If the last time you installed it did not complain
about any missing libs, then it should be fine this time round.

./configure --disable-clamav --enable-bigstack --with-group=mail \

[Clamav-users] freshclam in deamon mode

2004-02-17 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Ok, after a couple days off, my brain is kinda eroded.
How do people run freshclam in daemon mode, as opposed to via crontab?
I hope I am not dreaming ;)

Ok. I must comply.

Could you please tell us how you quarantine them? The methodology?
If that's too much to ask, I suppose you could find a way of storing the
mails in an IMAP folder and that way you give each user access to their
mail via any webmail interface, like squirrelmail.

Why do I feel that that would be outrageous? Are you saying that "you
want freshclam permanently connected to the db servers"? How are you
looking at it?

First guess:

I doubt it, unless I ignored something so obvious ... other instances of
scanning don't exhibit the same signs. See attached clamd.log.

Just get them putty.exe for ssh then close the telnet port.
Where you download putty.exe, there are other FREE clients.

I also run on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE, but I have been running CVS code for
ages now. Interestingly, I have only had very very minor problems, so
I am extremely happy with ClamAV.

Well, that was discussed, but they also gave solutions with the use of
logrotate.

BTW, there are new versions on the website, so go for them. There is an
entry in the Changelog from the CVS checkout I just did a few minutes
ago:


Tue Feb 17 17:09:24 GMT 2004 (trog)

  * clamd: SIGHUP re-open log file support


With that, I believe you could do the following in newsyslog.conf:

/var/log/clamav/clamd.log exim:mail 640  7 *@T00  Z /var/run/clamd.pid 1

> Is there something that has to be changed in clamav.conf also?

Yes, the PidFile specification must much the one you specify above.
I run clamd as user exim, in group mail. YMMV.

PS: I use daemontools to monitor clamd, and I use other methods to
rotate my log file, so don't blame me if the above approach makes
your box to go up in flames ;)

Very much! Go slowly and read the installation docs. The answers are
there. That is why I asked you if you even have a file called
clamav.conf. The fact that you are asking this question shows that
you obviously haven't read anything to do with install, or if you
did, you were in a great hurry, which is not good for you in the long
run.
I know soon someone here is gonna tell you to RTM. Badly enough, I
happen to have just done it;(

The easiet way is to put the output of `exim -bP exim_user` in your
clamav.conf.

User `exim -bP exim_user`

Do the substitution!!!1

All these memory leaks!! I don't see them in my system which uses just
Exiscan and clamd.

If you use clamd and it logs to clamd.log, the following line can also
give you the stats:

grep FOUND /var/log/clamav/clamd.log  | awk '{print $8}' | \
sed -e "s/\ FOUND//"  | sort | uniq -c

And I am running the CVS version (even as of yesterday) on FreeBSD
4.9-STABLE and it doesn't die at all. I've always ran cvs because of
1. Outstanding support from the developers
2. It's the one that seems more "stable" (word on this list has it so).

BTW, Jamie, as an aside, what is the reason you are running 4.8 ver?

Another thing: I run clamd using daemontools. Interestingly, the
supervise program always dies on this box (I can't figure out why), but
clamd is always alive. I am thinking of using clamdwatch from today or
tomorrow.

Why check messages larger than 1MB for viruses? I seriuosly doubt they

So I think something else is locking your system up.

Well, this is to say I really don't remember when I installed any of
those "stable" versions on the site. It's always been CVS since the
very first days I knew about clamav. Before that I was using drweb.

Thanks. I will act on that today, though you, being an expert in C,
could have given me some recommendation on values.

No. I don't run Clamuko. Those values just seemed enabled, but Clamuko,
AFAIK, is not for *BSD. Clamuko is DISABLED. Once ClamukoScanOnline is
commented out, the other Clamuko options are of no consequence.

OK.

It's in CVS, an option for clamd. From the combo you run, am I right in
assuming you don't use clamd at all, but only clamdscan??? In that case
then you don't run clamd as a daemon and FixStaleSocket really becomes
irrelevant in your case.


> The StreamMaxLength and FixStaleSocket options are the most interesting to

Since you said the former is because of company policy, and the later is
for clamd daemon, I am sure you are alright with those two the way they
are, no?

[Clamav-users] ScanOLE2 - who is using this successfully?

2004-04-14 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Hello all,

For quite sometime, I've had to resist the enabling of this option in
clamav.conf because whenever I do, I get the following message:

Can't open /var/tmp//da538de874b4bc60/_VBA_PROJECT in the debug info.
There is a corresponding msg in clamd.log which is almost similar.
Perhaps I've sent that to the list b4? I don't have one now.

What is this that I could be missing?

[Clamav-users] clamav and milter - dedicated mailing list.

2004-04-14 Thread Odhiambo Washington
May I propose a separate mailing list for milter users? There seems to
be alot of discussions about milter (now I even know it's some form of
sendmail plugin) that warrants this.
Some of us use Exiscan and we find milter quite a 'strange' idea ;-))
The list could be named clamav-milter-users.
I believe the usage of ClamAv has grown to an extent that this now
warranted.

Any seconders
