Re: [clamav-users] ClamAV for Win32 .msi question

[Brian Fluet]

Thank you for the response Micah.

I'm just using ClamD with Mercury/32 mail server runnning on a Win7 
PC logged in as a non-admin user.  It's been nice being able to  
replace files rather than going through the extra steps of running an 
updater as an admin.  I ran InnoUnpacker on setup.exe in the hopes of 
extraction but no joy.  I understand that I'm probably the only 
updating in this manner but would be grateful to have access to the 
runtime library files if possible.  

BTW, the windows specific changes to the conf files were noticed and 
are very much appreciated!

but "because in case of systemd, forking to background is useless" is
simply as *WRONG* as something can be

'foreground' implies Type=simple and if you have ordered services after
clamd they are immediately started while clamd is *not* ready to accept
connections because it's loading the signatures which can take a long time

it breaks a startup chain like "clamd -> clamav-milter -> postfix"
ordered with Before/After and i even wrote a distribution-bugreport to
switch from foreground to forking because clamav-milter reported errors
at boot


https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html

If set to simple (the default if neither Type= nor BusName=, but
ExecStart= are specified), it is expected that the process configured
with ExecStart= is the main process of the service. In this mode, if the
process offers functionality to other processes on the system, its
communication channels should be installed before the daemon is started
up (e.g. sockets set up by systemd, via socket activation), as systemd
will immediately proceed starting follow-up units.

this is *not* true

with foreground other services like clamav-milter are stated instantly,
while with forking they are started after clamd has finished to load
signatures

the difference is when services really depend one on another like in
this cases with forking (unless the service supports systemd native with
type=notify) you have errors with a brainedead --foreground

not mix different versions

either you build *everything* and replace any distro-packaged piece or
stay with the distro-packages at all

foreground means it don't do forking and that's bad when you have other
services like a milter which rely on clamd are fully initalized which
can take some time because loading of signatures

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191669

Historical or not, Type=forking is necessary if you need to be able to
order other services on the Type=forking service. Type determines the
readiness protocol used by systemd. In the case of Type=simple, there is
no protocol. systemd assumes that as soon as the binary is exec'd, the
service is available. For Type=forking, services are considered ready
after the MainPID exits (after the double fork), allowing for time to
setup sockets or other resources needed to handle client requests (e.g.
a database server or a web server). If you use the Type, you may find
that dependent services fail to startup properly, as their dependencies
aren't actually ready when systemd declares them to be.

yes, in the init-scripts or systemd-units

Re: [clamav-users] ClamAV for Win32 .msi question

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

Good morning Brian,

I went ahead and extracted an 0.100.0 Windows installer and an 0.99.4 Windows 
installer to compare.

It looks as though the old installer does package in the C runtime libraries in 
the Win\System[64].  These are [msvcr100, msvcp100] DLLs that you may need to 
run applications on older versions of Windows that were built with newer 
versions of Visual Studio.

ClamAV 0.100 is built with Visual Studio 2015 now.  In the migration, I had 
some issues with the older project files that create the .msi installers and so 
I recreated them from scratch.  I wasn't aware of the Win\System trick the 
previous installer had used to get the C runtime libraries installed.  To 
provide the same libraries, I chose to provide the setup.exe program which will 
install the dependency if needed before installing ClamAV from the .msi file.

As for the additional .msi file found once you extract the original .msi 
installer.  It looks to me as though previous versions also extract an 
additional .msi file.  Because the name of the installer changed from 
"Setup-x86.msi" to "ClamAV-0.100.0-x64.msi", the .msi installer inside also was 
different.  You should not be concerned about it.  This is what I see when I 
extract the 0.99.4 installer:

In a bit of positive news about the Windows version of ClamAV, you may notice 
that the sample configs in conf_examples should now be written with Windows in 
mind.  I replaced the Unix paths with Windows paths, and removed some of the 
config options that don't make sense on Windows.

Micah

Background:  Using ClamAV for Win32.  My usage has allowed me to use
it without ever having to install it.  Instead I simply extracted the
.msi.  Updates were done by replacing previous files with new ones.

The directory structure of the extracted .msi from the
clamav-0.100.0-win-x86.zip file is different from previous versions.
Gone is the \WIN directory, added is a clamav-0.100.0-x86.msi file
which I fails to extract (using MSIEXEC).

Please let me know whether the missing .dll files normally packaged
in a \WIN\SYSTEM directory is of consequence.

Also, do I need to be concerned with the clamav-0.100.0-x86.msi that
is packaged inside of the clamav-0.100.0-x86.msi that was extracted
from the downloaded .zip?

Thanks.

your raspbian apparently uses systemd, process manager who prefers to run 
applications in foreground (because in case of systemd, forking to background 
is useless).
