Dansguardian freshclam issue

[asterix]

Yeah I did that already :)

It complained at first about freshclam.log being in use by some other process. After a 10 min wait I reboot the box and ran freshclam again. Worked this time and I see the files being download. Though it complains about old signatures.

[kejianshi]

Well, you are running a beta package on a beta/RC.  What could possibly go wrong?
When I get this far down the rabbit hole, I usually start looking towards a fresh install.

[asterix]

Well I do fresh installs all the time. One small error makes me get rid of the install and start fresh.. :)

[kejianshi]

Yep - For sure for me.

Because fresh install takes 4 minutes, restore config - 1 minute, reload missing packages, 2 minutes.

Then usually all is well.

[asterix]

marcelloc,
Can u please fix this freshclam issue on 2.1 . :)

[clauded1]

Got it working with many manipulations that should be corrected in the package (tested on 2.1 RC1):

1. Create missing directories : mkdir /var/log/clamav /var/db/clamav /var/run/clamav
2. Change ownership of these directories : chown clamav /var/log/clamav /var/db/clamav /var/run/clamav
3. Refresh clam db : freshclam
4. Start clam daemon : clamd &

Those settings won't survive a reboot : pfSense reset permissions in /var/log and removes directories created in /var/run. This should be coded in the startup script of Dansguardian but I haven't found it yet.

The dansguardian re-create of the directories and permissions is in the dansguardian.inc file. If you put a valid freshclam and clamav-clamd script in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d directory, then the dansguardian.inc code will correctly re-create the directories and rights.

This security package is the only one having issues on 2.1 .. Snort.. Squid.. works great.

1. Where do I find those scripts?

OK… I didn't run into that particular issue. Is Dans installed? It should have installed clam as part of the dg install. Does the file /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf exist? If so, what do the rights look like on it (do ls -al)? Can you see if the clam executable exists (just do find / -name "clam") and see if it exists anywhere...

I can send you the freshclam script tonight (at work right now) but it won't do you any good if clam isn't installed.

## Executable files
##

# PE stands for Portable Executable - it's an executable file format used
# in all 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems. This option allows

# required for decompression of popular executable packers such as UPX, FSG,
# and Petite. If you turn off this option, the original files will still be
# scanned, but without additional processing.
# Default: yes
#ScanPE yes

# This option allows you to control the scanning of ELF files.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without additional processing.
# Default: yes
#ScanELF yes

# With this option clamav will try to detect broken executables (both PE and
# ELF) and mark them as Broken.Executable.
# Default: no
#DetectBrokenExecutables yes

##
## Documents
##

# This option enables scanning of OLE2 files, such as Microsoft Office
# documents and .msi files.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but

#ScanPDF yes

##
## Mail files
##

# Enable internal e-mail scanner.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without parsing individual messages/attachments.
# Default: yes
ScanMail yes

# Scan RFC1341 messages split over many emails.

# signatures.
# Default: yes
#PhishingSignatures yes

# Scan URLs found in mails for phishing attempts using heuristics.
# Default: yes
#PhishingScanURLs yes

# Always block SSL mismatches in URLs, even if the URL isn't in the database.

# Always block cloaked URLs, even if URL isn't in database.
# This can lead to false positives.
#
# Default: no
#PhishingAlwaysBlockCloak no

# Allow heuristic match to take precedence.
# When enabled, if a heuristic scan (such as phishingScan) detects
# a possible virus/phish it will stop scan immediately. Recommended, saves CPU
# scan-time.
# When disabled, virus/phish detected by heuristic scans will be reported only at
# the end of a scan. If an archive contains both a heuristically detected
# virus/phish, and a real malware, the real malware will be reported
#
# Keep this disabled if you intend to handle "*.Heuristics.*" viruses 
# differently from "real" malware.
# If a non-heuristically-detected virus (signature-based) is found first, 
# the scan is interrupted immediately, regardless of this config option.
#
# Default: no
#HeuristicScanPrecedence yes

##
## Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
##

# Enable the DLP module
# Default: No
#StructuredDataDetection yes

# This option sets the lowest number of Credit Card numbers found in a file
# to generate a detect.
# Default: 3
#StructuredMinCreditCardCount 5

# This option sets the lowest number of Social Security Numbers found
# in a file to generate a detect.
# Default: 3
#StructuredMinSSNCount 5

# Perform HTML normalisation and decryption of MS Script Encoder code.
# Default: yes
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without additional processing.
#ScanHTML yes

##
## Archives
##

# ClamAV can scan within archives and compressed files.
# If you turn off this option, the original files will still be scanned, but
# without unpacking and additional processing.
# Default: yes
#ScanArchive yes

# Mark encrypted archives as viruses (Encrypted.Zip, Encrypted.RAR).
# Default: no
#ArchiveBlockEncrypted no

##
## Limits
##

# The options below protect your system against Denial of Service attacks
# using archive bombs.

# This option sets the maximum amount of data to be scanned for each input file.
# Archives and other containers are recursively extracted and scanned up to this
# value.
# Value of 0 disables the limit
# Note: disabling this limit or setting it too high may result in severe damage
# to the system.
# Default: 100M
#MaxScanSize 150M

# Files larger than this limit won't be scanned. Affects the input file itself
# as well as files contained inside it (when the input file is an archive, a
# document or some other kind of container).
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Note: disabling this limit or setting it too high may result in severe damage
# to the system.
# Default: 25M
#MaxFileSize 30M

# Nested archives are scanned recursively, e.g. if a Zip archive contains a RAR
# file, all files within it will also be scanned. This options specifies how
# deeply the process should be continued.
# Note: setting this limit too high may result in severe damage to the system.
# Default: 16
#MaxRecursion 10

# Number of files to be scanned within an archive, a document, or any other
# container file.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Note: disabling this limit or setting it too high may result in severe damage
# to the system.
# Default: 10000
#MaxFiles 15000

##
## Clamuko settings
##

# Enable Clamuko. Dazuko must be configured and running. Clamuko supports
# both Dazuko (/dev/dazuko) and DazukoFS (/dev/dazukofs.ctrl). DazukoFS
# is the preferred option. For more information please visit www.dazuko.org
# Default: no
#ClamukoScanOnAccess yes

# The number of scanner threads that will be started (DazukoFS only).
# Having multiple scanner threads allows Clamuko to serve multiple
# processes simultaneously. This is particularly beneficial on SMP machines.
# Default: 3
#ClamukoScannerCount 3

# Don't scan files larger than ClamukoMaxFileSize
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Default: 5M
#ClamukoMaxFileSize 10M

# Set access mask for Clamuko (Dazuko only).
# Default: no
#ClamukoScanOnOpen yes
#ClamukoScanOnClose yes
#ClamukoScanOnExec yes

# Set the include paths (all files inside them will be scanned). You can have
# multiple ClamukoIncludePath directives but each directory must be added
# in a seperate line. (Dazuko only)
# Default: disabled
#ClamukoIncludePath /home
#ClamukoIncludePath /students

# Set the exclude paths. All subdirectories are also excluded. (Dazuko only)
# Default: disabled
#ClamukoExcludePath /home/bofh

# With this option you can whitelist specific UIDs. Processes with these UIDs
# will be able to access all files.
# This option can be used multiple times (one per line).
# Default: disabled
#ClamukoExcludeUID 0

# With this option enabled ClamAV will load bytecode from the database. 
# It is highly recommended you keep this option on, otherwise you'll miss detections for many new viruses.
# Default: yes
#Bytecode yes

# Set bytecode security level.
# Possible values:
#       None - no security at all, meant for debugging. DO NOT USE THIS ON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
#         This value is only available if clamav was built with --enable-debug!
#       TrustSigned - trust bytecode loaded from signed .c[lv]d files,
#                insert runtime safety checks for bytecode loaded from other sources
#       Paranoid - don't trust any bytecode, insert runtime checks for all
# Recommended: TrustSigned, because bytecode in .cvd files already has these checks
# Note that by default only signed bytecode is loaded, currently you can only
# load unsigned bytecode in --enable-debug mode.
#
# Default: TrustSigned
#BytecodeSecurity TrustSigned

# Set bytecode timeout in miliseconds.
# 
# Default: 5000
# BytecodeTimeout 1000

The clamav-clamd file was empty and the clamd.conf was missing. Now it seems to work but I'll need to test a reboot to see if it comes back well.

One small note : the clamav-clamd file you provided needs to be edited to remove a couple of unneeded carriage return.

Thanks for the help.

[asterix]

A bit confused on how you got it to work. I would highly appreciate if you could please put up a quick step by step procedure.

[asterix]

Anyone else got this to work? Missing out on v2.1 just coz of this clamd issue… sigh  >:(

hmmm.. ok.. did you activate clamd ???

Also, if I am not mistaken.. you must have configured dans "after" installing squid3.. as dans works on squid

@rjcrowder:

I just did a fresh install of the 2.1 amd64 build from 8/29 and had no issues at all…

I installed the following packages in order...
      cron
      vhosts
      dansguardian
      squid3
      OpenVPN Client Export Utility

$ freshclam
