clamd file where is it

stripe21 · 01-18-2008, 10:48 AM

I am using Clamav on my server in Ubuntu 7.10. This is fine, as i can do the samba shares AV. yes you got it i have got infected with Windows PC (ubuntu server).

Im using Webmin to admin the clamav. When i try and open the clamav it keeps asking me to put in the clamd daemon startup file.

WARNING: Please fill in the location of the ClamAV daemon startup file in the module's configuration (install the ClamAV daemon package if it isn't already done).

I would love to find this daemon file location

Running

Code:

which clamd

should tell you the location, if it's in your PATH. Else use either:

Code:

find / -name clamd

or

Code:

updatedb
locate clamd

ok many thanks i have not found it cos it was not installed.

i have now installed it and then i found it (shock & stund). I now have got the daemon and Webmin all set up and running lovly.

Just 1 more, Clam said that its out dated, dose the auto update in ubuntu 7.10 do the update or do i have to do it ??????

I guess you mean that the virus database is outdated. You can run

Code:

freshclam

to update virus definitions and also create a cronjob to run freshclam periodically.

sorry i mean main and daily AV are downloading fine so i know im up to date with AV.

I mean that Clam 0.91 needs to be updated to Clam 0.92

will this get updated in ubuntu auto updater or is this something i should recompile myself from the clam website?

Unless you dont want to track the clam av development status for the livetime of your installation, I suggest to wait for the auto-updater.

One can track one or two programs for updates , but not some dozens - and the dependcies, ...

Just wait for the auto-updater is my suggestion :-)
