Having a strange problem with clamav ghost

Unread post by vbslim »

Hey all,
Let me start this by an explanation.
The server blew a hard drive and the provider said they would
install a new hard drive and mirror dive and reinstall from a fresh backup.
All is going well untill some strange stuff started happening.

The box is running FC-2 plesk 7.5.4

It started as a error message sent via email:

Error: Skipping oversized log record
/etc/cron.daily/freshclam:

ERROR: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't find or parse configuration file /etc/clamd.conf

Well this is news to me as I didnt install clamav. so...

I went to the log and found this:

WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.87.1 Recommended version: 0.88.7

so I did a rpm search via grep clam and got this:

clamav-db-0.87.1-2.rhfc2.art
clamav-0.87.1-2.rhfc2.art
clamav-devel-0.87.1-2.rhfc2.art

I thought how nice, They installed clamv as well.
I told them that when they installed the backup that I had used arts
spamassassin and not plesks, They said good idea and went about their work....

I was informed that some of my mail users wern't receving mail
So I got to searching the web about using spamassassin and clamv
and found out about qmail-scanner I did a rpm serarch for that and came up empty.

In one of the posts about qmail-scanner
it said to look here:
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue* /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner*
this is what I get:

Code: Select all

-rwsr-xr-x  1 qmailq qmail  16012 Aug 24  2005 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

-r-s--s--x  1 root   root   16012 Jan 1 01:57 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.backup

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root   qmail 158652 May 24  2005 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.drweb

-r-xr-xr-x  1 root   root   16012 Jan 1 01:57 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.orig.backup

-rwsr-xr-x  1    111   111 141855 Jan 1 01:57
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl
I dont have drweb installed.

the first two and the last files are in red in my shell that tells me
they are broken (orphaned)

I see I can run a rpm update for the clamav but untill I resolve these other problems I dont want to just yet.

rpm -qa | grep spam results in this:
spamassassin-3.1.0-4.rhfc2.art
psa-spamassassin-7.5.4-fc2.build75060617.18

Can anybody tell me what is wrong here and what my options for a fix are?

I am concerned about the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue file being borked

Thanks to any and all replies.
