On one CentOS 6.5 server, but not on other C 6.5 servers, Logwatch daily tells me:-
Last Status:
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.98.3 Recommended version: 0.98.4

5 thoughts on - CentOS 6 : ClamAV Out-of-date ???
could it be the mirror that the out dated one is hitting isn’t to to date/in synch yet?
But on the server, the software states the latest version is installed.
Could it be that the package installed but the running daemon did not get restarted? I don’t know if freshclam checks the on-disk image or queries the running binary during the version check.
Thank you. Your advice solved the riddle.
: ps -A|grep fresh
showed Freshclam was running. Killed it. Stopped and restarted clamd.
: logwatch –range today
shows the problem has been resolved. Freshclam updates are run by CRON.
Many thanks Richard.
The package was installed, and re-installed. Freshclam was running as a daemon. I killed it (because I did not know how to stop it nicely), restarted clamd, did a Logwatch for today and saw the error message has disappeared.
Freshclam is run by CRON.
Thanks.
