CentOS 5 Comments

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WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!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

  • 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.
