Hi Al,
I do see your concern if as your log shows you are only checking twice a
day.... Missing an update extends the stale db quite a bit.
Three questions;
Do you have both of these lines in your freshclam.conf?
DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
What is your max retry before failure? Default is 3
How many updates are you making? Default in freshclam says it is every 2
hours or 12/day but ..... you do not seem to be making that many based
on your log posting.
Right / wrong / or indifferent, I am running freshclam once an hour off
the hour. I am doing this via a cron task and select the execution
minute. To help reduce load, I do not run it on the hour but have
selected sometime after the hour.
