Topic: ClamAV behind a proxy

[SchulzStefan]

Referring to this https://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ:Section01#ClamAV_.2F_freshclam leaves the question to me, if there is any need to custom-template additional?

ClamAV / freshclam

How do I configure freshclam to download updates for ClamAV through a proxy server?

Based on examination of /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/freshclam.conf/ProxySettings:

config setprop clamav HTTPProxyServer localhost
config setprop clamav HTTPProxyPort 3128
config setprop clamav HTTPProxyUsername ""
config setprop clamav HTTPProxyPassword ""
sv t freshclam

Normally I would think about a custom template for freshclam.conf.

Thank's for any reply in advance.

no need for custom template AFAICS..

just setup as suggested, expand freshclam.conf (this step seems to be missing..) then restart freshclam

feel free to post here (and in bugzilla if is it the case) your findings..

Pointing clamav to the local proxy as shown in the wiki example (localhost:3128) will only work if squid is configured to use an upstream proxy:

Are you sure ? I have not tested, but I see no reason for an upstream proxy to be needed

[SchulzStefan]

I configured clamav and yum for use with an external proxy. Using the IP-adress, not *localhost*, of the external machine works for clamav and yum.

What I see is a custom template for yum. My question was, do I need a custom template for clamav?

[Stefano]

Again, no

@Stefano,
