ClamAV with pkg_add request

[greenm]

Hello, i was reading on the forum alot about the installation of clamav with exim.

I really want to install this because this is a good service for clients.
Every install i read about on the forum is without pkg_add.

Could someone write a KISS of freebsd pkg_add install of ClamAV ?

There is one that seems pretty messy and a bit unclear with the comments beneith:
http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11593&highlight=clamav+freebsd

If someone would write a clear KISS i would really appriciate it.

note*
I work with FreeBSD 6 but i've read clamav should work with both 5&6?

Tnx in advanced!

Using ports is actually the best way to go in my experience. The howto you relate to is actually 100% ok. This should be not very much or totally not different for BSD 6.0.

A package is actually al port that is "compiled" try teaching yourself the following commands which work fine for me for some time now :

portsnap (updating your ports tree)
portaudit (check vulnerable ports)
portupgrade (upgrade outdated ports)
portinstall (install a ports)

I use pkg_info an pkg_version - v to check ports against the tree.

Check the faq of freshports on http://www.freshports.org/faq.php for some additional info.

Ports is actually THE way to go on BSD.
Good Luck !

Install clamav via:

pkg_add -r clamav

or

cd /usr/ports/security/clamav
make install clean

Then:

Add:

av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/clamd

Under this in /etc/exim.conf

system_filter = /etc/system_filter.exim

Copy and paste:

touch /etc/rc.local

echo "
## Check for updates 24 times a day
/usr/local/bin/freshclam  -d -c 24
## Start clamd
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
" >> /etc/rc.local

/usr/local/bin/freshclam  -d -c 24
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim restart

I also use this for my check_message: section in /etc/exim.conf

# ACL that is used after the DATA command
#check_message:  
#  accept

check_message:
deny message = This message contains malformed MIME ($demime_reason)   
demime = *
condition = ${if >{$demime_errorlevel}{2}{1}{0}}
deny message = This message contains a virus or other harmful content ($malware_name)
demime = *
malware = *
deny message = This message contains an attachment of a type which we do not accept (.$found_extension)
demime = bat:com:pif:prf:scr:vbs
warn message = X-Antivirus-Scanner: This mail was checked and found to be clean. A virus scan is still recommended.
accept

chatwizard,

when you said: copy and paste

echo "
## Check for updates 24 times a day
/usr/local/bin/freshclam  -d -c 24
## Start clamd
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
" >> /etc/rc.local

/usr/local/bin/freshclam  -d -c 24
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim restart

Was all of this going into the rc.local file or just the first part of the "echo" down to the line with " >> /etc/rc.local ?

I have setup several Centos servers in the past and understand that quite well, but this is my first FreeBSD box and not so sure on some things. Learning as I go here.

Thanks in advance for your help

The echo command will place these lines:

## Check for updates 24 times a day
/usr/local/bin/freshclam  -d -c 24
## Start clamd
/usr/local/sbin/clamd

at the bottom of the /etc.rc.local file.

These lines must be run as root:

/usr/local/bin/freshclam  -d -c 24
/usr/local/sbin/clamd
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim restart
