[ILUG] Clamscan not detecting my viruses

[kevin]

We run the following script to update clamscan then check all the home 
directories, we use clamd on the mail server. Works great, even picked up 
some new virus's before our commercial scanner. Make sure you have read 
through /etc/clamav.conf and have all the settings correct but it should just 
about work out of the box.


===========================================
#!/bin/sh

LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/clamscan.log"
if [ ! -f ${LOG_FILE} ]; then
    touch $LOG_FILE
    chmod 6666666G_FILE
    chown clamav.clamav $LOG_FILE
fi

/usr/bin/freshclam --datadir=/var/lib/clamav --log=$LOG_FILE --log-verbose

/usr/bin/clamscan -ri -l /var/log/clamav/clamscan.log /home
=================================================

This is not odd. clamdscan should be the one used if you run it as this
is the one wired to the 'up2date' virus definition, at least this is my
understanding.
