Hey till or falko, Hey Sorry I haven't done anything in a few months. However, I was recently playing with clamav and noticed it isn't set to allow for auto update. I set this up on my server and it appears to work fine. I haven't tested it fully. Here is how it is done. Edit the script that writes clamd.conf /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/clamav/etc/clamd.conf/home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/clamav/etc/clamd.conf Add the lines DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net optional DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net where XY is the country code then have a cron.d job that runs every night with freshclam -v
ISPConfig uses the freshclam daemon to update the virus signature database, without a cron job. If you run Code: ps aux|grep freshclam you'll see it.
hey, I just noticed this post and thought I'd throw this in. My current (non ispc) server which runs clamav on it for mail does one special little trick which I'd like to share with everyone (since I never hear that anyone has done it). With the 'freshclam' command getting new pattern updates, I noticed that it can't do anything about the program itself. I haven't really checked on the net for anything that automates it but for those of you who like using tar.gz sources and not RPMs like myself, here's an autoupdate script i wrote which has been working for a year or two to auto update clamav itself. PHP: #!/bin/bashLOG="/var/log/clamav-prog-update.log"STATUS="`/usr/local/bin/freshclam --log=/var/log/clam-update.log 2>&1 | grep \"WARNING: Local version\"`"NEW="`echo $STATUS |awk {'print $7'}`"OLD="`echo $STATUS | awk {'print $4'}`";# If it's OLD, updated it.if [ "$NEW" ]; then cd /usr/src/source wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/clamav/clamav-$NEW.tar.gz >$LOG 2>&1 cd .. tar xvfz source/clamav-$NEW.tar.gz >$LOG 2>&1 cd clamav-$NEW ../compile-clamav >$LOG 2>&1 RESULT="$?" if [ "$RESULT" = 0 ]; then echo "OLD=$OLD NEW=$NEW" rm -fr /usr/src/clamav-$OLD/ >$LOG 2>&1 service amavisd restart >$LOG 2>&1 fifi
