Any ideas?

Doc, can you provide the output from:

   ls -l /var/clamav/securiteinfo.hdb

and (adjust path to match your "ss-dbs" working directory location):

   ls -l /usr/unofficial-dbs/ss-dbs/securiteinfo.hdb

and:

   unofficial-clamav-sigs.sh -s securiteinfo.hdb

I'm wondering why this file appears to not be updating, as the issue
you
report above was resolved by newer signature updates from SecruiteInfo
for securiteinfo.hdb.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7451460 Apr 16 07:56
/usr/unofficial-dbs/si-dbs/securiteinfo.hdb

I removed all the si sigs so none are going into /var/clamav/
Hmmm, that's too bad, can't compare the two file then. Anyway, that is
the correct file size.  What about the output from either:

   unofficial-clamav-sigs.sh -s securiteinfo.hdb

or:

   clamscan -d /usr/unofficial-dbs/si-dbs/securiteinfo.hdb /dev/null

If the database is not reporting any errors, then it should not cause
clamd any problems.

Clamscan reports that the 'scam.ndb' database file integrity tested GOOD

clamscan -d /usr/unofficial-dbs/si-dbs/securiteinfo.hdb /dev/null
ERROR: Not supported file type (/dev/null)

Perfect, so there should be no issue with using this database.  However,
since the file that was previously causing the issue no longer
available, there is no way to confirm whether the file was different
than the one you just tested in your working directory, and no way to
determine if was being updated or not.

BTW, have you enabled logging in the script?  If so, could you provide
log output from an update run that shows this issue?

Thanks,

Bill


I've enabled logging in the conf file and will send the output after it runs on the hour.


And of course not much in the log:
