Hello all - New user here, couple quick questions..... Background: I am trying to support a customer under a bit of duress. I know Linux, but have not worked with ClamAV directly myself, so am a bit hesitant because this is an env. that processes 250k emails a day.
I've read over the FAQ, and things seem fairly clear, but I wanted to ask a couple quick questions to bolster my confidence before I proceed. Upgrade will be done via remote access. System: RHEL 3 Update 8, AS, on 32-bit Intel 2-way server Running QMail (netqmail 1.05) (I have seen a post in the archives about running a QMail script to update the scan headers after install/upgrade) Current ClamAV is 0.88.4/2061 (installed Oct. last year) Customer uses a cluster filesystem (IBM GPFS) so config data is in "non-standard" locations based on shares of this FS. Questions: I see the current release is 0.88.7 - is it advisable to upgrade the base package as opposed to just the scan DB? I took a look at the changelog in the latest stable and it looks like there were some required fixes, so I'm guessing that's a yes. The FAQ says "Uninstall Old; Install New" - is there any config data I should look for in the old build? (I have the log) Do I need to worry about losing any config data by uninstalling? If it's not obvious, I'm a little concerned about an potential disruption of service..... so, if there's any other install tidbits anyone wants to pass on it's appreciated...
