Does anyone know of a webmin module for managing clamav - or any other 
antivirus product?

Thanks Marcos

I installed that package - and the rpmfoege clamav packages:
clamv, clamnav-db, calamd, clamav-milter from dag repository on my 
centos 5 system.
When I go to the webmin clamav page - I now get the error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*WARNING: *Please fill in the location of the ClamAV log file in the 
module's configuration.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have checked the module config - and both log file paths calmav and 
freshclam seem to be filled in and reasonable.

Any ideas how I get past this warning?

Thanks

Richard.

Clamav 0.94 -> 0.95 is a fairly major change, so an old admin interface
*may* not work. However, at a system level, the log file location must
exist, and must also be writable by the clamav user ( which is usually -
surprisingly! - clamav ). It may well be the second part that's tripping
you up. I usually create a /var/log/clamav directory, and chown
clamav:clamav /var/log/clamav. This usually does it.

You should only need the clamav-milter module if you're interfacing to
sendmail or procmail. In fact, if all you're doing is providing a
socket/port for applications to use, then you only really need clamd.

Sorry I've not played with the module.

Thanks Steve

I checked the permissions of /var/log/calmav and it is owned by clamav 
and the owner has write permission.
Indeed - the log file freshclam.log exists and has some reasonably 
sensible stuff in it. However - there is no clam.log file there - and 
the error I get from the webmin module is:

*WARNING: *Please fill in the location of the ClamAV log file in the 
module's configuration.

I have of course checked the log file entry in the module config and it 
is set  to:

/var/log/clamav/clamav.log

which looks correct to me.

My intention is to use clamav to scan incoming mail - probably using 
procmail - so I probably do need the milter.
I am not sure what the basic "clamav' module includes - and whether I 
need it - but it is there anyway.

If you have any other suggestions - they would be appreciated.

Richard.
