[KLUG Members] Red Hat, uvscan, and qmail

[Adam bultman]

Morning, ladies and gentlemen. Er, afternoon,  I guess for you.

Hey - I've been having an issue with uvscan, and I can't quite figure 
out what's wrong. I've been able to ignore it, by and large, but it's 
getting under my skin, and I can't find a resolution to this problem.


We run qmail on an RH6.2 server running uvscan for virus scanning.  A 
while (ways!) back, the ckupdate.sh script downloaded a new version; and 
since then, if I run those newer dat files, uvscan will work normally, 
save for every half-minute or so, it will start to scan something that 
pretty much kills it. Uvscan will hang, use 100% CPU, and basically, 
never terminate.
I've been googling, and google grouping, but haven't found anything all 
that... useful yet. Maybe if I was running redhat 9...

I'm running Scan engine v4.1.60 for Linux.  Dat files are from July 26 
(perhaps about the time it stopped working correctly).


Have any of you had this problem?
