[Devil-Linux-discuss] Proposed addition: freshclam daemon

[Kari M. <kar...@tr...>]

Hi!

We have 10+ DLs running as backup MX + mail filtering gateway.
Obviously ClamAV is doing the virus filtering.  Excellently.
In DL the clamd in unnecessary, as Sagator calls libclamav directly.
It is also way more efficient.
But... the virus definitions need to be updated.
For that I have modified /etc/init.d/clamav and turned it into
/etc/init.d/freshclam.  It is attached.  Only few lines were really changed.

I also added the following 2 lines to /etc/sysconfig/config:

# Start Freshclam daemon for ClamAV?
START_FRESHCLAM=yes

...to automagically start freshclam in daemon mode during boot.

This has worked nicely more than a year for us.

If you Heiko/Bruce find this addition ok, please add it to the next version.
