But Dennis, for connecting to Sybase and/or Microsoft SQL Server from Solaris, you want the freetds package. freetds can connect directly or use unixODBC. I released the freetds package a week or two ago. If you have the initial unixODBC package, be sure to update to the version that I released late last week. For testing freetds and unixODBC, I connected to MS SQL Server 2000 and ran queries, etc. Alex From users at lists.blastwave.org Tue Oct 5 22:09:50 2004 From: users at lists.blastwave.org (SunTrust Bank - Fraud Center) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:09:50 +0300 Subject: [csw-users] SunTrust Bank - Fraud Center Notice Message-ID: <20041004195342.8C20B6BB1@enterprise.dogan.ch> An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You should report it as a bug to the CSW package maintainer using blastwave's Bug Track page. I had the same problem when I build KDE from sources. The solution is for the package maintainer to compile kdm_greet from kdebase/kdm which for some reason does not get built by default From qy1ggy802 at sneakemail.com Wed Oct 6 16:15:48 2004 From: qy1ggy802 at sneakemail.com (Tim Longo) Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2004 10:15:48 -0400 Subject: [csw-users] kde screen lock not working In-Reply-To: <4163E67A.6070103@mie.utoronto.ca> References: <13408-64568@sneakemail.com> <4163E67A.6070103@mie.utoronto.ca> Message-ID: <19939-95558@sneakemail.com> Thanks, I will.

I filed a bug report ([apache2 0000638]) http://www.blastwave.org/mantis/view_bug_page.php?f_id=638 against the package that I originally thought was causing the issue, but it is now clear that old versions of the catalog file are reappearing in the archive this is the catalog I pulled on the 4th: -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 87422 Oct 4 22:31 catalog with this content: apache2 2.0.51,REV=2004.09.15 CSWapache2 apache2-2.0.51,REV=2004.09.15-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz 2b18507c01250faa976a74100231a53d apr 1.0.0,REV=2004.09.06 CSWapr apr-1.0.0,REV=2004.09.06-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz 82731e63b9b7b03dd0d96a0b36ecc00a aprutil 1.0.0,REV=2004.09.07 CSWaprutil aprutil-1.0.0,REV=2004.09.07-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz f92677fba09d24315de22d2c373b1788 as of today 10/6/2004 I have apache 2.0.52 working, but yesterday I had 2.0.51 (not functional). This sequence shows what happened to me about an hour ago. I pulled a new catalog. performed an update showing several newer packages on my box and did it again a few minutes later with correct results. This situation was repeated yesterday. This behavior might be caused by stale NFS mounts, or an incorrect mirror script.

There have been a lot of changes. See the attached README for details. IMPORTANT: This is a release candidate and not a stable release. I have been running it and it seems fine so far. No dates, at this point, on when the stable release is expected. Since this is a release candidate, I will not release the package via the normal mechanism. Currently, clamav 0.80 is at release candidate 5. If you would like to try this version and you are already running CSWclamav, stop the clamav processes and get the update from the following commands. First, make sure that the dependencies are up to date with: `pkg-get -Uu libgmp zlib bzip2 curl` To get the latest 0.80rc package: `pkg-get -s http://blastwave.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/csw/users/asmoore -Uu libclamav clamav` Note that the command probably wrapped to multiple lines, but it should be one line. I put the surrounding back ticks around the command. Run freshclam from the command line for verification and to get the latest database. Note that, as usual, you may need to fix permissions. You must compare both freshclam.conf and clamd.conf (was clamav.conf) with the *.CSW versions in /opt/csw/etc. Again, there have been many changes. See /opt/csw/share/doc/clamav/README.CSW for any further notes. Then start clamav as normal for your environment. Feedback appreciated. Thanks, Alex -------------- next part -------------- Note: This README/NEWS file refers to the source tarball. Some things described here may not be available in binary packages. -- 0.80rc ------ The development version of ClamAV is ready for general testing! New mechanisms have already proved very nasty to Internet worms successfully protecting against the new versions R, S, T, U, V and W of the infamous Mydoom worm and detecting them as Worm.Mydoom.Gen before they were analysed and specific signatures added by the ClamAV database maintainers. That means servers running the new version of ClamAV have detected and blocked 100% of Mydoom attacks! New features in this release include: -) libclamav + Portable Executable analyser (CL_SCAN_PE) featuring: o UPX decompression (all versions) o Petite decompression (2.x) o FSG decompression (1.3, 1.31, 1.33) o detection of broken executables (CL_SCAN_BLOCKBROKEN) + new, memory efficient, pattern matching algorithm (multipattern variant of Boyer-Moore) - it's now primary matcher and Aho-Corasick is only used for regular expression extended signatures + new signature format with advanced target type and offset specification + support for MD5 based signatures + extended regular expression scanner + added support for MS cabinet files + added support for CHM files + added support for POSIX tar archives + scanning inside PowerPoint documents + HTML normaliser with support for decoding of MS Script Encoder code + great improvements in e-mail scanner (now handles even more worm tricks) + new method of mail files detection + all e-mail attachments are now scanned (previously only the first ten attachments were scanned) + added support for scanning URLs in e-mails (CL_SCAN_MAILURL) + detection of Worm.Mydoom.M.log + updated API (still backward compatible but please consult clamdoc.pdf (Section 6) and adapt your software) -) clamd + new directive ScanHTML (enables HTML normalisator and ScrEnc decoder) + new directive ScanPE (win32 executable analyser and decompressor) + new directive DetectBrokenExecutables (try to detect broken executables and mark them as Broken.Executable) + new directive MailFollowURLs (try to download and scan files from URLs in mails. BE CAREFUL!

Important notice for people using ClamAV 0.60: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our logs show that there is still a small percentage of ClamAV 0.60 installations updating their database. ClamAV 0.60 was released on July 29th, 2003 and it was the last release to use the old database format. Starting from version 0.65, released on November 12nd, ClamAV uses a new database format, which is compressed and digitally signed. We have been distributing the database in both formats till now, but we plan to drop support for ClamAV 0.60 on September 1st. We encourage _all_ users to upgrade to the latest release available. People running an old version of ClamAV are missing many viruses and may experience stability problems. On non-production systems you can try the latest development version. The new engine not only speeds up the scanning process but also limits memory usage by about 8 MB ! It's able to scan new formats, including CAB, CHM, UPX, HTML (normalisation), PowerPoint macros and can detect annoying e-mails with empty attachments generated by new Bagle variants. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.74 ---- Bugfixes in this version include crashes with multipart/mixed messages and corrupted OLE2 and Zip files. Improvements include various optimisations of mail scanning and clamav-milter and clamdscan behaviour. New members of our "3rd party software" list: + MyClamMailFilter an e-mail filter for procmail (written in C) + clamaktion scan files from the right-click Konqueror menu + QMVC Qmail Mail and Virus Control + pyclamav Python binding for ClamAV + FETCAV Front End To Clam AntiVirus based on Xdialog + Famuko an on-access scanner working in a userspace + SoftlabsAV a generic anti-virus filter for procmail Japanese users can take an advantage of the new ClamAV related site: http://clamav-jp.sourceforge.jp/ and join the clamav-jp-users mailing list. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.73 ---- This version fixes memory management problems in the OLE2 decoder and improves mail scanning. Because of the rapid ClamAV development the team encourages users to help in testing new features: http://www.clamav.net/snapshot Thank you for using ClamAV ! -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.72 ---- Major bugfixes in this release include crashes with corrupted BinHex messages and some Excel documents. Protection against archive bombs (not fully functional since 0.70) was improved and a number of other improvements were made. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.71 ---- This release fixes all bugs found in 0.70 and introduces a few new features - the noteworthy changes include: -) libclamav: + support nested OLE2 files + support Word6 macro code + ignore popular file types (media, graphics) + support compress.exe (SZDD) compression (test/test.msc) + improve virus detection in e-mails -) clamscan: + automatically decide (by comparing daily.cvd version numbers) which database directory (hardcoded or clamav.conf's one) to use + support compression ratio feature (--max-ratio) + allow regular expressions in --[in|ex]clude + do not overwrite old files in a quarantine directory but add a numerical extension to new files + respect --tempdir in libclamav + fix access problem when calling external unpackers in a superuser mode + fix file permission corruption with --deb in a superuser mode -) clamd + support log facility specification in syslog's style (LogFacility) + new directive LeaveTemporaryFiles (Debug no longer leaves temporary files not removed) -) clamav-milter: + include the virus name in the 550 rejection + support user defined template for virus notifications (--template-file) + sort quarantine messages by date + improve thread management + add X-Virus-Scanned and X-Infected-Received-From: headers + improve load balancing (when using remote servers with --server) + send 554 after DATA received, not 550 + save PID (--pidfile) -) documentation: + German clamdoc.pdf translation (Rupert Roesler-Schmidt and Karina Schwarz, uplink coherent solutions, http://www.uplink.at) + new Japanese documentation (Masaki Ogawa) -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.70 ---- The two major changes in this version are new thread manager in clamd and support for decoding MS Office VBA macros. Both of them have been implemented by Trog. Besides, there are many improvements and bugfixes (all listed in ChangeLog), a short summary: -) clamd + new thread manager (with better SMP support) + on-access scanning now also available on FreeBSD (with Dazuko 2.0) + new directive ArchiveBlockEncrypted + new directive ReadTimeout (replaces ThreadTimeout) + handle SIGHUP (re-open logfile) and SIGUSR2 (reload database) + respect TCPAddr in stream scanner -) clamav-milter: + TCPWrappers support -) libclamav: + support MS Office documents (OLE2) and VBA macro decoding + support encrypted archive detection + new flags: CL_OLE2, CL_ENCRYPTED (see clamdoc.pdf, Section 6.1) + improve virus detection in big files + improve support for multipart, bounce and embedded RFC822 messages + improve RAR support + include backup snprintf implementation -) clamscan: + new option: --block-encrypted -) freshclam + new option: --pid, -p (write pid file if run as daemon) + handle SIGHUP (re-open logfile), SIGTERM (terminate with log message), SIGALRM and SIGUSR1 (wake up and check mirror) + fix bug with -u and -c handling -) contrib + windows clamd client now available with source code -) documentation: + new Polish documentation on ClamAV and Samba integration + official documentation updated Special thanks to Dirk Mueller for his code review, many bugfixes and cleanups. Thanks to the help of many companies (clamdoc.pdf: Section 2.10, http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html) we have 49 very fast and reliable virus database mirrors in 22 regions and the number is still growing. As of March 2004 we attempt to redirect our users to the closest pool of mirrors by looking at their ip source address when they try to resolve database.clamav.net. Our DNS servers can answer with a CNAME to: db.europe.clamav.net, db.america.clamav.net, db.asia.clamav.net or db.other.clamav.net. Our advanced push-mirroring mechanism (maintained by Luca Gibelli) allows database maintainers to update all the mirrors in less than one minute ! There will be no major feature enhancements in the 0.7x series. Our work will be concentrated on a new scanning engine and preliminary heuristics - please help us and test CVS snapshots from time to time. We are happy to announce new programs with support for ClamAV (all of them have been reviewed by our team - more info in the documentation and on our website: http://www.clamav.net/3rdparty.html): + ClamWin - a GUI for Windows (!) + KlamAV - a collection of GUI tools for using ClamAV on KDE + clamscan-procfilter - a Perl procmail filter + j-chkmail - a powerful filter for sendmail + qscanq - Virus Scanning for Qmail + clamavr - a Ruby binding for ClamAV + DansGuardian Anti-Virus Plugin + Viralator - a Perl script that virus scans http downloads + ClamAssassin - a filter for procmail + Gadoyanvirus - a filter for Qmail + OpenProtect - a complete e-mail protection solution + RevolSys SMTP kit for Postfix - an antispam/antivirus tools installation + POP3 Virus Scanner Daemon + mailman-clamav - a virus filter for Mailman + wbmclamav - a webmin module to manage ClamAV + Scan Log Analyzer + mailgraph - a RRDtool frontend for Postfix Statistics + INSERT - a security toolkit on a credit card size CD + Local Area Security - a Live CD Linux distribution -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) April 17, 2004 0.68-1 ------ Fixed RAR support. 0.68 ---- This version fixes a crash with some RAR archives generated by the Bagle worm, also a few important fixes have been backported from CVS. We strongly encourage users to install the 0.70-rc version (released today). 0.67 ---- This release fixes a memory management problem (platform dependent; can lead to a DoS attack) with messages that only have attachments (reported by Oliver Brandmueller). It also contains patches for a few problems found in 0.66 and has better Cygwin support. 0.66 ---- This version is a response to the "clamav 0.65 remote DOS exploit" information published on popular security-related mailing lists. Unfortunately we had not been contacted by the author before he published that and had to release this (unplanned) package very quickly (it should be mentioned that CVS version was not vulnerable to the exploit). Untested code has been disabled also the Dazuko support is temporarily not available (if you really need it please use a CVS version or wait for a next stable release). Other noteworthy changes: -) clamd: + fixed database timestamp handling (and a double reload problem reported by Alex Pleiner and Ole Stanstrup) + new directive: ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio + new command: SESSION (starts a clamd session and allows to do multiple commands per TCP session) + new directives: TemporaryDirectory, LogClean (Andrey V.

The signature was published by Diego d'Ambra in the daily update 105, 26-Jan-2004 20:23 GMT and we were at least two hours faster than "big" AV vendors: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3764826&forum_id=34654 http://www.pcwelt.de/news/viren_bugs/37278/4.html clamav-devel is finally able to decode OLE2 (Microsoft Office) files and decompress VBA streams ! The code is developed by Trog, official ClamAV developer. Also we're testing new clamd implementation that will solve several important problems (especially that "Time out" related). Please help us and test the latest CVS version. The virus database now contains more than 20.000 signatures ! On January 8, Denis De Messemacker (who joined our team 3 months ago) added signatures for about 7700 new viruses. Also special thanks go to Tomasz Papszun for his hard work on daily submissions and forcing us to keep ClamAV quality on the highest possible level. New mirroring mechanisms. Luca Gibelli (ClamAV) and mirror administrators (22 sites, http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html, please see clamdoc.pdf for a complete mirror information) are converting mirrors to new "push mirroring" method. It uses advanced techniques to ensure all the mirrors are up to date.

Thank you for using ClamAV ! -- Tomasz Kojm November 12, 2003 0.60 ---- Hello again... This is a new, (very?) stable release of Clam AntiVirus. 0.60 was developed and stabilized for over seven months and many people had contributed to the final release. This version introduces many enhancements and a new program: clamav-milter written by ClamAV developer Nigel Horne. This is a mail scanner for Sendmail/milter written entirely in C, which uses clamd for virus scanning. Clamav-milter and clamd duet is a powerful solution for systems where high performance is required. Please check clamdoc for more detail. Many people get confused with ClamAV database status because of the OpenAntiVirus update information at: http://openantivirus.org/latest.php (last update at 17 October, 2002). The ClamAV virus database contains the OAV database (with some signatures fixed or removed) but we develop it independently of the OAV project. Our database is updated frequently (on average 4-5 times a week). You can help (or join) us - will find some basic but useful instructions at http://clamav.elektrapro.com/doc/signatures.pdf News from ClamAV world: -) New email address for virus submitting: virus at clamav.elektrapro.com You don't need to encrypt a virus sample, but if your system doesn't allow you to send infected files just put it into an encrypted zip archive (password: virus) Special thanks to Nicholas Chua, Diego D'Ambra, Hrvoje Habjanic, Nigel Kukard and Chris van Meerendonk for a big number of samples submitted. -) New mailing list: virusdb at clamav.elektrapro.com After each update an email with subject "[clamav-virusdb] Update" and a list of viruses added is sent to it. You can set up a procmail rule for freshclam to react on such a mails (and update the database just after an update). -) New official mirrors: + clamav.ozforces.com: database mirror updated manually (thanks to Andrew ) + clamav.essentkabel.com: full (automatic) mirror of clamav.elektrapro.com (thanks to Chris van Meerendonk ) + clamav.linux-sxs.org: database mirror - rsync from clamav.ozforces.com (thanks to Douglas J Hunley ) Freshclam will automatically use them when the main server is not accessible. -) Official port in FreeBSD available ! (maintained by Masahiro Teramoto ) -) Unofficial port for OpenBSD is available at: http://www.activeintra.net/openbsd/article.php?id=5 (maintained by Flinn Mueller ) -) there are many new programs that use ClamAV, eg. mod_clamav (Apache virus scanning filter), clamdmail or Sagator. You will find more info in clamdoc. Changes: -) libclamav: + fixed buffer overflow in unrarlib (patch by Robbert Kouprie ) + various mbox code updates (fixed memory leak; added support for decoding viruses sent in message bodies, detection of viruses that put their payloads after the end of message marker (thanks to Stephen White for the bug report and useful CGI tools); + zziplib updated to 0.10.81 (some problems with older version were reported by Martin Schitter) + direct scanning of mbox/maildir files (new directive CL_MAIL) + file scanner optimization (patch by Hendrik Muhs ) + bzip2 support + faster detection of malformed Zip archives (eg. 'Zip of Death'), they are reported as a viruses + fixed strcasecmp() compile problem in zziplib on Free/NetBSD and others -) clamd: + fixed descriptor leak in directory scanner - it was causing random clamd crashes and locks, especially on highly loaded servers. Reported by Kristof Petr . + fixed crash with archive scanning on BSD (increased thread stack size) (Nigel Horne) + fixed CONTSCAN command (used by clamdscan) - it had archive support disabled (hardcoded) + fixed SelfCheck option (there was a logic bug, and the option was disabled) it now checks a databases time stamps and reloads them if needed. + fixed possible writing to undefined descriptors (bug found by Brian May ) + new STREAM command (scanning data on socket) and directives: StreamSaveToDisk (save stream to disk to allow scanning within archives), StreamMaxLength. This option allows scanning data on socket (might be sent from another host), currently only clamav-milter uses this. + new ScanMail directive for scanning into mbox/Maildir files + new directive: ArchiveLimitMemoryUsage (limit memory usage with bzip2) + new directive: AllowSupplementaryGroups (feature requested by Exiscan users) + syslog support (LogSyslog) (patch by Hrvoje Habjanic ) + fixed parser segfault with extra space between option and argument in config file (Magnus Ekdahl ) -) clamscan: + fixed --remove option (didn't work when the file was scanned with an internal unpacker) (patch by Damien Curtain ) + --move option for moving infected files into a specified directory (by Damien Curtain ) + --mbox enables a direct support for mbox files (ex. clamscan --mbox /var/spool/mail) + fixed --log (-l) option + fixed -i option (patch by Magnus Ekdahl ) + enabled default archive limits (max-files = 500, max-size = 10M, max-recursion = 5) + use arj instead of non-free unarj (patch by Magnus Ekdahl) + use unzoo instead of non-free zoo (patch by Magnus Ekdahl) + removed thread support freshclam: + mirror support (implemented by Damien Curtain ) + --proxy-user: proxy authorization support (implemented by Gernot Tenchio ) + new options --on-error-execute, --on-update-execute (ex. freshclam -d -c 6 --on-error-execute "sendsms 23332243 Can't update virus database"). Idea by Douglas J Hunley configure: + --disable-cr (don't link with C reentrant library (needed on some newer versions of OpenBSD)) -) Enhanced AIX (thanks to Mike Loewen ) and Tru64 support (thanks to Christophe Varoqui ) -) documentation: + included how-to in Portugese by Alexandre de Jesus Marcolino + clamdoc.pdf and system manual updates Many thanks to Luca 'NERvOus' Gibelli from ElektraPro for his support, to Ken McKittrick from USA DataNet for a fully accessible FreeBSD box and to mailing list subscribers for a constructive discussions. -- Tomasz Kojm June 21, 2003 0.54 ---- Many major changes this time... -) libclamav: + fixed segfault with some strange zip archives (there is a bug in zziplib, libclamav contains a work around for it) (the problem was reported by Oliver Paukstadt ) + engine improvements (better support for a detection of new viruses, limited memory usage (consumes ~ 5 Mb now)) + mbox code updated and moved into the library: fixed core dump when an embedded message includes a mime header with the line Content-Type: without specifying the type of content, fixed (theoretical) memory leak, support for multipart/report messages, fixed bug causing some formats to fail to scan) (Nigel) -) clamd: + new commands: CONTSCAN (it doesn't stop scanning even when virus is found), VERSION + disable logging of a unnecessary time stamps with LogTime when LogVerbose isn't used (patch by Ed Phillips ) -) freshclam: + "Cache-Control: no-cache" enabled by default + Cygwin support fix -) clamdscan: + initial version -) all tools: + removed huge printf() in help() (there was a buffer overflow problem with --help option under Windows and SCO Unix (reported by Wojciech Noworyta and Nigel respectively) -) configure: + allow configuration of the clamav user and group with --with-user and --with-group (patch by Patrick Bihan-Faou ) + --enable-id-check - it uses the check procedure from Jason Englander , currently it will fail on systems with getent which doesn't detect clamav group. + do not overwrite the existing config file There are initial packages for Windows available at: http://clamav.elektrapro.com/binary --tk 0.53 ---- This release has removed the limit for a file name length in clamscan. Some viruses (eg. W32/Yaha.E) are using very long file names, and they were ignored in mbox mode. Users of AMaViS-ng and other wrappers were not vulnerable to this problem, because that programs don't use original attachement file names. -) clamscan: + removed limit for a file name length (thanks to Odhiambo Washington for the test files and extensive mbox testing) + mbox: adapted to the new changes, enabled thread support (Nigel), re-enabled temporary directory removing. 0.52 ---- This version contains a portability fixes - it should compile on OpenBSD, MacOSX and NetBSD (support for them was broken in 0.51). -) clamd: various fixes: + drop supplementary groups (suggested by Enrico Scholz ) (this has been implemented in freshclam, too) + work-around for the segmentation fault at QUIT under FreeBSD + check timeouts when waiting for threads in RELOAD mode + SelfCheck - internal integrity check (by default every 1 hour) + fixed problem with directory scanning on non typical file systems (bug reported by Jason Englander ) + clamd is a system command (clamd.1 -> clamd.8, /usr/local/bin -> /usr/local/sbin) (Magnus Ekdahl) -) clamscan: + mbox code updates (Nigel Horne) - it fixes some problems on *BSD systems (see mailing lists archives for the details) + enable core dumping (Nigel Horne) [ with --enable-debug ] -) freshclam: + applied http-proxy patch from http://bugs.debian.org/clamav (by Martin Lesser ) + when configured with --disable-cache, freshclam forces 'no-cache' option in proxy servers (patch by Ant La Porte ) -) HPUX (10.20/11.0 tested) support (thanks to Joe Oaks ) -) fixed support for SCO Unix and BeOS (Nigel Horne) -) support/mboxscan: new version with SpamAssassin support (Nigel Horne) -) re-included TrashScan 0.08 (by Trashware ) - the security issue has been fixed. -) included "Installing qmail-scanner, Clam Antivirus and SpamAssassin under FreeBSD" how-to by Paul Hoadley and Eric Parsonage 0.51 ---- OAV database is up to date ! There was a problem with signature parsing, because some hex strings were upper case. Anyway, I still recommend you freshclam for a database updating. -) support for the genuine OAV database -) limited memory usage (at the cost of speed, increase CL_MIN_LENGTH in libclamav/clamav.h to make it faster, it's safe to set it on 3-4 for the OAV database) -) fixed compile problem on TurboLinux 6.5 (probably others, too), the bug was reported by Henk Kuipers . -) clamd: fixed THREXIT (thanks to Piotr Gackiewicz ) -) clamd: fixed serious bug with thread argument type -) clamscan: mbox: don't scan empty attachments (Nigel Horne) -) configure: --with-db1, --with-db2 (suggested by Magnus Ekdahl) 0.50 ---- Here it is... Clam AntiVirus 0.50 contains an anti-virus library - libclamav, a fully multi-threaded daemon clamd(1) and a quite long list of changes. The documentation was rewritten and you _should_ review it. By courtesy of NERvOus and ElektraPro, there are three mailing lists available - you can subscribe via www at http://clamav.elektrapro.com/ml. Please check the manual for more information. New software: -) libclamav with RAR, Zip and Gzip support built-in. The library is thread safe and should be very secure, also. It uses UniquE RAR File Library by Christian Scheurer and Johannes Winkelmann (RAR 2.0 support only) and zziplib library by Guido Draheim and Tomi Ollila. Both of them are included and slightly modified in the clamav sources. You need the zlib library for the Zip/Gzip support, though. The API is described with examples in the clamdoc. -) clamd: a modern anti-virus daemon. It uses configuration file clamav.conf described in the clamav.conf(5) manual. The program was written with security as a goal. -) clamuko: on-access scanning under Linux. It utilizes Dazuko kernel module (GPL, http://dazuko.org) and is clamd-based. New features / improvements: -) enhanced scanner engine (better detection of some complex polymorphic viruses) -) clamscan: Nigel Horne has added the ability to scan mail attachments in a filter. For example: $ clamscan -i --mbox - < /var/spool/mail/john /tmp/aa6b9fc06bc477ae/setup.exe: Worm/Klez.H FOUND Nigel is the author of the whole mbox code in clamscan. Currently it only works in a filter mode, but there are plans to move the code into the libclamav and allow clamd using it. Please check support/mboxscan, also. -) clamscan: support for including and excluding multiple patterns with --include and --exclude (patch by Alejandro Dubrovsky ). Example: clamscan --include .exe --include .obj --include .scr /mnt/windows -) clamscan: don't scan /proc files (Linux, st_dev comparing). No more /proc/kcore related mails :)) -) clamscan: use libclamav's archive support by default (it's enabled by default and may be disabled with --disable-archive) and switch to the external unpackers (if specified) in the case of libclamav archive code error. -) freshclam: proxy support (via $http_proxy variable and --http-proxy). I started implementing proxy support some time ago, but never finished. Nigel Horne did the great job and has finished the proxy support ! -) freshclam: --daemon-notify. freshclam will send the RELOAD command to the daemon after database update (supports both tcp and local sockets, it reads clamav.conf to determine the socket type). -) freshclam: support for viruses.db2 Bug fixes: -) freshclam: log 'Database updated' message (thanks to Jeffrey Moskot for the bug report). It now prints a number of signatures in a database, also. -) clamscan: fixed compile problem on Solaris 8 and some other systems - #include lack in others.c (thanks Mike Loewen for the bug report) Documentation: -) included Japanese documentation by Masaki Ogawa -) updated Spanish "Sendmail + Amavis + ClamAv - Como" by Erick I. Lopez Carreon -) rewritten clamdoc, included clamdoc-html, removed PostScript version (.ps) -) Clam-Mutant ;) logo update by Michal Hajduczenia -) new man pages: clamd(1), clamav.conf(5); others updated !!! Please don't use the oav-update script with this version. It doesn't update viruses.db2 and supports OpenAntiVirus.org site only (the last update of the OAV database was 1 July !). Nicholas Chua has generated over 200 new signatures, ClamAV's database is also frequently updated (expecially when new wild virus/worm appears, eg. W32/BugBear.A). This software is still in developement (new software == new bugs), however clamscan should be very stable. You shouldn't use clamd/clamuko (well, clamd is stable, clamuko isn't) on production systems, yet. Please wait for 0.51 at least ;). ClamAV 0.50 was tested on Linux and Solaris and should work fine. There is a problem with clamd on FreeBSD (tested on my FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT) - the daemon crashes with Zip/Gzip files (disabling ScanArchive should help). Enjoy ! -- Tomasz Kojm October 5, 2002 0.24 ---- -) fixed threads deadlock in a critical error situation (bug found by David Sanchez ) -) fixed sigtool bug (negative seeking) -) fixed potential clamscan segfault in the case of memory allocation error -) unpacker execution error is no longer treated as critical - a few programs (eg. Qmail-Scanner, TrashScan) have clamscan command hardcoded with all archive options turned on. Now, if unpacker can't be executed, raw file is scanned and scan process is continued. -) reverted to pthread.h detection -) TrashScan 0.07 (Trashware ) -) --exclude (regular expressions are not supported !) [ex: clamscan --exclude="/proc/kcore" /], but please use it with care. -) included html documentation IMPORTANT NOTE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will probably have a problem with a default Qmail-Scanner (1.13 or newer) installation. You need to increase qmail-smtpd softlimit or disable it. You can force clamscan to use only half of the memory which it uses by default, too. Please change the following line in the clamscan/matcher.h file: #define MIN_LENGTH 5 to: #define MIN_LENGTH 3 and recompile the program. Unhappily, scanning may be a little slower in some cases, but it shouldn't be significant. Then you can safely set the qmail softlimit to 8 MB. I want to thank Doug Monroe for his contribution in the problem analysis. --- New ClamAV version is in a heavy development. It has currently built-in support for RAR, Zip, Gzip and tar. The daemon will support only built-in compression/archive support. Snapshot will be available for a few days. 0.23 ---- -) fixed compile problem on FreeBSD (thanks to Wieslaw Glod and Ken McKittrick ) -) clamscan reads all .db files from data directory, so you can put your own databases there and they won't be overwrited by the updaters. viruses.db is still the main database file (if --database isn't used). -) --deb (debian binary packages scanning) by Magnus Ekdahl -) --remove option, but be careful with it ! -) new clam logo ;) (GPL) by Michal Hajduczenia . -) TrashScan 0.06 (by Trashware ) - a script for scanning mail with procmail. I recommend it. (support/trashscan) -) documentation updates 0.30 release will contain a daemon and an anti-virus library (with simple API), so you can use it directly in your projects. I want to build in zip and rar support, also. There are binary packages for AIX available. Please check the documentation. 0.22 ---- This release fixes bug with scanning archives in unaccessible directories with *superuser* priviledges (after dropping priviledges scanner wasn't able to access the archive, although the same archive was accessible), thanks for Sergei Pronin for the problem description. Now all archives unaccessible directly by the clamav user are copied (with a respect to --max-space) to the temporary directory. All old filesystem tricks were removed. Other fixes / improvements: -) better error handling, new error codes -) improved -i (--infected) option -) removed --strange-unzip option -) removed eicar test files and logos from the documentation due to the GPL (thanks for Magnus Ekdahl ), ClamAV-Test-Signature is used instead -) removed Qmail-Scanner patch, ClamAV is supported by Q-S 1.13 (thanks guys!) -) code cleanups 0.21 Release ------------ It fixes following problems: -) database downloading in freshclam/0.20 -) malformed amavis-perl patch from 0.20 -) clamscan problems with some unzip versions, please try --strange-unzip option ClamAV 0.21 source package contains initial support for NetBSD (thanks to Marc Baudoin , Jean-Edouard BABIN ), better support for Mac OS X (Masaki Ogawa ), and clamdoc documentation corrected by Dennis Leeuw . 0.20 Release ------------ The most important change in this release is a new, linear pattern matching algorithm. You will find more informations about it in clamscan/matcher.c - in the sources and in clamdoc. Summary (since 0.15): New features: -) fast pattern matching algorithm -) sigtool utility, check `man sigtool` and clamdoc -) Linux: threads autodetection on various architectures (Magnus Ekdahl ) -) -i, --infected: clamscan prints only infected files -) 'Data scanned' in summary, size in megabytes with 16 Kb precision -) configure: --with-dbdir sets the database location -) support/sigmake shell script by Dennis Leeuw -) Spanish "Sendmail+Amavis+ClamAv installation how-to" by Erick I. Lopez Carreon Updates: -) "Debian GNU/Linux Mail Server v. 0.2.0" by Dennis Leeuw -) qmail-scanner patch from Kazuhiko -) general documentation cleanups / updates -) freshclam / Internet database location Fixes: -) threads autodetection on not-x86 Linux systems -) gcc 3.x support (David Ford ) -) data type fix on Mac OS X (Peter N Lewis ) -) removed -w, --whole-file, now clamscan scans whole files by default -w is still supported by internal getopt(), because it is used in various patches -) removed --one-virus, still supported by getopt(); removed 'Found viruses' from summary, clamscan stops file scanning after first virus -) fixed old problem with scanning stdin -) removed amavisd-patch - strange problems have been reported OpenAntiVirus Update is a great tool written by Matthew A. Grant and it will be the primary updater for ClamAV in the near future. In contrast to freshclam it has proxy support and many specific features. Please check clamdoc for more informations and how to obtain it. 0.15 Notes ---------- This version contains minor bugfixes only, such as: -) multiple fixes in freshclam (it has problems, when one of the hosts wasn't accessible), there were logic flaws in the code -) fixed problem with password protected archives (unpackers were waiting for password) New features: -) OpenBSD support (thanks to Kamil Andrusz ) -) added support for amavisd, qmail-scanner (see ./support) There were no major bugs and I was very busy, that's why new version is released just today. In the next 2 months, clamav development will be much faster. Here are some of my plans: ~ 0.20 : New pattern-matching algorithm ~ 0.30 : clamlib; clamscan and the daemon based on it There is a new homepage: http://clamav.elektrapro.com Thanks to ElektraPro.com for sponsoring this site (it's very fast). Thanks to NERvOus . If you are interested in current development versions, please check snapshots link. Resource usage limits in 0.14 ----------------------------- Two new features: --max-files, --max-space have been implemented. If you have enabled one of this options, clamscan monitors resource usage (number of created files and used space) and stops extractor when it has exceeded the limit. You should use these options to protect your machine against Denial of Service attacks. In the near future --max-levels (limit for recursive archives extracting) and --max-time (spent on checking/extracting files) will be implemented. FreeBSD: AMaViS compile problems -------------------------------- Please check FAQ. !!! Strange signatures in VirusSignatures-2002.04.15.10.51.zip !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last version of signatures was ~90 kb, this version is ~474 kb. But I don't understand, why some signatures are mega-huge. When I decoded them, they looked like regular files. In CA they were removed from the database and I probably add them later, in normal sizes. Installation : -------------- Please view documentation in ./docs. There are several formats - pdf, ps and plain latex, if you want to compile it yourself. You need GNU make (on Solaris you should have gmake). It was tested only with gcc 2.9x compilers.

I can run firefox fine from my main account. However, I am unable to invoke it from a second account, and I can't figure out why. I get these rolling "loading the extensions datasource" messages for a while (I think 25 of them) and then it bails without the final message you see. But, since I rarely use my secondary account, I have not bothered to delve into it in detail. I've also had some problems with extensions. Some just don't work, but I've never had firefox refuse to come up. Were you running as root when you loaded the extensions? If not, all the changes should be under your home directory. Unfortunately, firefox seems to store things in a number of diverse places: ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.firefox ~/.gconfd ~/.gconf-csw Fortunately, all but the first seems benign. Here's what I would suggest: Try moving .mozilla/firefox to .mozilla/firefox.save and then restart firefox. If this works, then you can selectively restore things like your bookmarks and reload the extensions that work, staying away from the ones that break things. If it doesn't, well, I dunno. Good luck.

Hey Robert! It's probably not a serious problem if you have multiple copies of some software on your system. The CSW (blastwave) packages are very good about being self-contained to the /opt/csw directory. there are very few files that are installed outside of this location with the infrequent exception of some things that may end up in /etc, /etc/dt (for gnome, etc.) or modifications made to file in /etc/init.d. However, having multiple copies of software can lead to confusion. You might find that you install a newer version of something from blastwave and then it turns out that you are still running the older version of the software because it is located earlier in your PATH. (I just did that very thing yesterday with the vim editor!) Also, you might find that you are looking at the manual page for an older version of the software and end up getting incorrect information. Because of this, I have decided to bite the bullet, track down the old software and remove it. If I'm installing a duplicate package from blastwave, I usually rename my old binaries, library directories and manual pages .OLD. I then install the blastwave package and test it out. If everything works OK, I then go back and delete the *.OLD files from the system. One exception to this rule has been the gnome software. I found that there are problems running CSW's gnome 2.6 package on my dual-headed box, although the 2.6 gnome applications fix many problems over Sun's 2.0 distribution. So I left Sun's gnome 2.0 packages installed and also installed CSW's gnome 2.6. At the login window you will find entries for both 2.0 and 2.6 sessions. If you are using gnome, try 2.6 and see if it works for you. In my case I still use the 2.0 window manager, but I have created many menu entries where I specifically access the applications under /opt/csw/bin. There are still bugs in gnome, but this has worked out pretty well. I hope when gnome 2.8 is released more problems will disappear. If you're a boater, check out the "xtide" package I recently added. It will give you a really nice tide clock and you can print out your own tide charts.

But Dennis, for connecting to Sybase and/or Microsoft SQL Server from Solaris, you want the freetds package. freetds can connect directly or use unixODBC. I released the freetds package a week or two ago. If you have the initial unixODBC package, be sure to update to the version that I released late last week. For testing freetds and unixODBC, I connected to MS SQL Server 2000 and ran queries, etc. Alex From users at lists.blastwave.org Tue Oct 5 22:09:50 2004 From: users at lists.blastwave.org (SunTrust Bank - Fraud Center) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 23:09:50 +0300 Subject: [csw-users] SunTrust Bank - Fraud Center Notice Message-ID: <20041004195342.8C20B6BB1@enterprise.dogan.ch> An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is a dual-headed system using two XVR-100 graphic cards. Gnome 2.6 starts up OK but it doesn't seem to properly recognize the two displays. I start a separate desktop on each screen (just as I currently do with Sun's Gnome 2.0) and everything looks OK. However, if I click on a "Menu Launcher" on the toolbar of the 2nd screen, the resulting menu will display on the 1st screen! If I launch an application on the 2nd screen, it will appear on the 1st. Does anyone have Gnome 2.6 running properly on a dual-headed system? If so, I would like to compare notes to see what might be the problem. If anyone else has any ideas as to what to investigate, I would love to hear them. Thanks. -- Jeff C.

You should report it as a bug to the CSW package maintainer using blastwave's Bug Track page. I had the same problem when I build KDE from sources. The solution is for the package maintainer to compile kdm_greet from kdebase/kdm which for some reason does not get built by default From qy1ggy802 at sneakemail.com Wed Oct 6 16:15:48 2004 From: qy1ggy802 at sneakemail.com (Tim Longo) Date: Wed, 06 Oct 2004 10:15:48 -0400 Subject: [csw-users] kde screen lock not working In-Reply-To: <4163E67A.6070103@mie.utoronto.ca> References: <13408-64568@sneakemail.com> <4163E67A.6070103@mie.utoronto.ca> Message-ID: <19939-95558@sneakemail.com> Thanks, I will.

There have been a lot of changes. See the attached README for details. IMPORTANT: This is a release candidate and not a stable release. I have been running it and it seems fine so far. No dates, at this point, on when the stable release is expected. Since this is a release candidate, I will not release the package via the normal mechanism. Currently, clamav 0.80 is at release candidate 5. If you would like to try this version and you are already running CSWclamav, stop the clamav processes and get the update from the following commands. First, make sure that the dependencies are up to date with: `pkg-get -Uu libgmp zlib bzip2 curl` To get the latest 0.80rc package: `pkg-get -s http://blastwave.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/csw/users/asmoore -Uu libclamav clamav` Note that the command probably wrapped to multiple lines, but it should be one line. I put the surrounding back ticks around the command. Run freshclam from the command line for verification and to get the latest database. Note that, as usual, you may need to fix permissions. You must compare both freshclam.conf and clamd.conf (was clamav.conf) with the *.CSW versions in /opt/csw/etc. Again, there have been many changes. See /opt/csw/share/doc/clamav/README.CSW for any further notes. Then start clamav as normal for your environment. Feedback appreciated. Thanks, Alex -------------- next part -------------- Note: This README/NEWS file refers to the source tarball. Some things described here may not be available in binary packages. -- 0.80rc ------ The development version of ClamAV is ready for general testing! New mechanisms have already proved very nasty to Internet worms successfully protecting against the new versions R, S, T, U, V and W of the infamous Mydoom worm and detecting them as Worm.Mydoom.Gen before they were analysed and specific signatures added by the ClamAV database maintainers. That means servers running the new version of ClamAV have detected and blocked 100% of Mydoom attacks! New features in this release include: -) libclamav + Portable Executable analyser (CL_SCAN_PE) featuring: o UPX decompression (all versions) o Petite decompression (2.x) o FSG decompression (1.3, 1.31, 1.33) o detection of broken executables (CL_SCAN_BLOCKBROKEN) + new, memory efficient, pattern matching algorithm (multipattern variant of Boyer-Moore) - it's now primary matcher and Aho-Corasick is only used for regular expression extended signatures + new signature format with advanced target type and offset specification + support for MD5 based signatures + extended regular expression scanner + added support for MS cabinet files + added support for CHM files + added support for POSIX tar archives + scanning inside PowerPoint documents + HTML normaliser with support for decoding of MS Script Encoder code + great improvements in e-mail scanner (now handles even more worm tricks) + new method of mail files detection + all e-mail attachments are now scanned (previously only the first ten attachments were scanned) + added support for scanning URLs in e-mails (CL_SCAN_MAILURL) + detection of Worm.Mydoom.M.log + updated API (still backward compatible but please consult clamdoc.pdf (Section 6) and adapt your software) -) clamd + new directive ScanHTML (enables HTML normalisator and ScrEnc decoder) + new directive ScanPE (win32 executable analyser and decompressor) + new directive DetectBrokenExecutables (try to detect broken executables and mark them as Broken.Executable) + new directive MailFollowURLs (try to download and scan files from URLs in mails. BE CAREFUL! DO NOT ENABLE IT ON LOADED MAIL SERVERS) + new directive ArchiveBlockMax (archives that exceed limits will be marked as viruses) + clamav.conf was renamed clamd.conf -) clamscan + mail files are scanned by default, use --no-mail to disable it + new option --no-html (disables HTML normalisator) + new option --no-pe (disables PE analyser) + new option --detect-broken + new option --block-max + new option --mail-follow-urls (download and scan files from URLs in mails) -) clamdscan + now prints warnings if some activated command line options are only supported by clamscan + added support for archive scanning in stdin mode -) clamav-milter + improved template file format + quarantined file names now contain virus names + initial support for SESSION mode of clamd -) freshclam: + new directive DNSDatabaseInfo that enables ultra lightweight version verification method through DNS (using TXT records). Based on idea by Christopher X. Candreva and enabled by default. (see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/clamav/users/11102) + new option --no-dns (quick option to disable DNS method without editing freshclam.conf) -) sigtool + removed ability of automatic signature generation (use MD5 sums to create your own signatures, see signatures.pdf for details) + new option --md5 + new option --html-normalise (saves HTML normalisation and decryption results in three html files in current directory) -) configure: + new option --disable-gethostbyname_r (try enabling it if clamav-milter compilation fails) + new option --disable-dns (try enabling it if freshclam compilation fails) + extended regular expression scanner -) documentation + included new Mac OS X installation instructions + official documentation rewritten and outdated docs removed -) new 3rd party software with support for ClamAV: + OdeiaVir - an e-mail filter for qmail and Exim + ClamSMTP - a lightweight (written in C) and simple filter for Postfix + Protea AntiVirus Tools - a virus filter for Lotus Domino + PTSMail Utilities - an e-mail filter for Sendmail + mxGuard for IMail - a mail filter for Ipswitch IMail (W32) + Zabit - a content and attachment filter for qmail + BeClam - ClamAV port for BeOS + clamXav - a virus scanner with GUI for Mac OS X Special thanks to aCaB for his work on UPX, FSG and Petite decompressors. Thanks to good reaction times on new threats ClamAV was awarded as best security tool for 2004 by Linux Journal: "...With this year's outbreak of e-mail worms for non-Linux platforms, ClamAV has been getting quite a workout, and Linux admins on mailing lists report that database update times are keeping up with or beating the proprietary alternatives."

Important notice for people using ClamAV 0.60: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our logs show that there is still a small percentage of ClamAV 0.60 installations updating their database. ClamAV 0.60 was released on July 29th, 2003 and it was the last release to use the old database format. Starting from version 0.65, released on November 12nd, ClamAV uses a new database format, which is compressed and digitally signed. We have been distributing the database in both formats till now, but we plan to drop support for ClamAV 0.60 on September 1st. We encourage _all_ users to upgrade to the latest release available. People running an old version of ClamAV are missing many viruses and may experience stability problems. On non-production systems you can try the latest development version. The new engine not only speeds up the scanning process but also limits memory usage by about 8 MB ! It's able to scan new formats, including CAB, CHM, UPX, HTML (normalisation), PowerPoint macros and can detect annoying e-mails with empty attachments generated by new Bagle variants. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.74 ---- Bugfixes in this version include crashes with multipart/mixed messages and corrupted OLE2 and Zip files. Improvements include various optimisations of mail scanning and clamav-milter and clamdscan behaviour. New members of our "3rd party software" list: + MyClamMailFilter an e-mail filter for procmail (written in C) + clamaktion scan files from the right-click Konqueror menu + QMVC Qmail Mail and Virus Control + pyclamav Python binding for ClamAV + FETCAV Front End To Clam AntiVirus based on Xdialog + Famuko an on-access scanner working in a userspace + SoftlabsAV a generic anti-virus filter for procmail Japanese users can take an advantage of the new ClamAV related site: http://clamav-jp.sourceforge.jp/ and join the clamav-jp-users mailing list. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.73 ---- This version fixes memory management problems in the OLE2 decoder and improves mail scanning. Because of the rapid ClamAV development the team encourages users to help in testing new features: http://www.clamav.net/snapshot Thank you for using ClamAV ! -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.72 ---- Major bugfixes in this release include crashes with corrupted BinHex messages and some Excel documents. Protection against archive bombs (not fully functional since 0.70) was improved and a number of other improvements were made. -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.71 ---- This release fixes all bugs found in 0.70 and introduces a few new features - the noteworthy changes include: -) libclamav: + support nested OLE2 files + support Word6 macro code + ignore popular file types (media, graphics) + support compress.exe (SZDD) compression (test/test.msc) + improve virus detection in e-mails -) clamscan: + automatically decide (by comparing daily.cvd version numbers) which database directory (hardcoded or clamav.conf's one) to use + support compression ratio feature (--max-ratio) + allow regular expressions in --[in|ex]clude + do not overwrite old files in a quarantine directory but add a numerical extension to new files + respect --tempdir in libclamav + fix access problem when calling external unpackers in a superuser mode + fix file permission corruption with --deb in a superuser mode -) clamd + support log facility specification in syslog's style (LogFacility) + new directive LeaveTemporaryFiles (Debug no longer leaves temporary files not removed) -) clamav-milter: + include the virus name in the 550 rejection + support user defined template for virus notifications (--template-file) + sort quarantine messages by date + improve thread management + add X-Virus-Scanned and X-Infected-Received-From: headers + improve load balancing (when using remote servers with --server) + send 554 after DATA received, not 550 + save PID (--pidfile) -) documentation: + German clamdoc.pdf translation (Rupert Roesler-Schmidt and Karina Schwarz, uplink coherent solutions, http://www.uplink.at) + new Japanese documentation (Masaki Ogawa) -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) 0.70 ---- The two major changes in this version are new thread manager in clamd and support for decoding MS Office VBA macros. Both of them have been implemented by Trog. Besides, there are many improvements and bugfixes (all listed in ChangeLog), a short summary: -) clamd + new thread manager (with better SMP support) + on-access scanning now also available on FreeBSD (with Dazuko 2.0) + new directive ArchiveBlockEncrypted + new directive ReadTimeout (replaces ThreadTimeout) + handle SIGHUP (re-open logfile) and SIGUSR2 (reload database) + respect TCPAddr in stream scanner -) clamav-milter: + TCPWrappers support -) libclamav: + support MS Office documents (OLE2) and VBA macro decoding + support encrypted archive detection + new flags: CL_OLE2, CL_ENCRYPTED (see clamdoc.pdf, Section 6.1) + improve virus detection in big files + improve support for multipart, bounce and embedded RFC822 messages + improve RAR support + include backup snprintf implementation -) clamscan: + new option: --block-encrypted -) freshclam + new option: --pid, -p (write pid file if run as daemon) + handle SIGHUP (re-open logfile), SIGTERM (terminate with log message), SIGALRM and SIGUSR1 (wake up and check mirror) + fix bug with -u and -c handling -) contrib + windows clamd client now available with source code -) documentation: + new Polish documentation on ClamAV and Samba integration + official documentation updated Special thanks to Dirk Mueller for his code review, many bugfixes and cleanups. Thanks to the help of many companies (clamdoc.pdf: Section 2.10, http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html) we have 49 very fast and reliable virus database mirrors in 22 regions and the number is still growing. As of March 2004 we attempt to redirect our users to the closest pool of mirrors by looking at their ip source address when they try to resolve database.clamav.net. Our DNS servers can answer with a CNAME to: db.europe.clamav.net, db.america.clamav.net, db.asia.clamav.net or db.other.clamav.net. Our advanced push-mirroring mechanism (maintained by Luca Gibelli) allows database maintainers to update all the mirrors in less than one minute ! There will be no major feature enhancements in the 0.7x series. Our work will be concentrated on a new scanning engine and preliminary heuristics - please help us and test CVS snapshots from time to time. We are happy to announce new programs with support for ClamAV (all of them have been reviewed by our team - more info in the documentation and on our website: http://www.clamav.net/3rdparty.html): + ClamWin - a GUI for Windows (!) + KlamAV - a collection of GUI tools for using ClamAV on KDE + clamscan-procfilter - a Perl procmail filter + j-chkmail - a powerful filter for sendmail + qscanq - Virus Scanning for Qmail + clamavr - a Ruby binding for ClamAV + DansGuardian Anti-Virus Plugin + Viralator - a Perl script that virus scans http downloads + ClamAssassin - a filter for procmail + Gadoyanvirus - a filter for Qmail + OpenProtect - a complete e-mail protection solution + RevolSys SMTP kit for Postfix - an antispam/antivirus tools installation + POP3 Virus Scanner Daemon + mailman-clamav - a virus filter for Mailman + wbmclamav - a webmin module to manage ClamAV + Scan Log Analyzer + mailgraph - a RRDtool frontend for Postfix Statistics + INSERT - a security toolkit on a credit card size CD + Local Area Security - a Live CD Linux distribution -- The ClamAV team (http://www.clamav.net/team.html) April 17, 2004 0.68-1 ------ Fixed RAR support. 0.68 ---- This version fixes a crash with some RAR archives generated by the Bagle worm, also a few important fixes have been backported from CVS. We strongly encourage users to install the 0.70-rc version (released today). 0.67 ---- This release fixes a memory management problem (platform dependent; can lead to a DoS attack) with messages that only have attachments (reported by Oliver Brandmueller). It also contains patches for a few problems found in 0.66 and has better Cygwin support. 0.66 ---- This version is a response to the "clamav 0.65 remote DOS exploit" information published on popular security-related mailing lists. Unfortunately we had not been contacted by the author before he published that and had to release this (unplanned) package very quickly (it should be mentioned that CVS version was not vulnerable to the exploit). Untested code has been disabled also the Dazuko support is temporarily not available (if you really need it please use a CVS version or wait for a next stable release). Other noteworthy changes: -) clamd: + fixed database timestamp handling (and a double reload problem reported by Alex Pleiner and Ole Stanstrup) + new directive: ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio + new command: SESSION (starts a clamd session and allows to do multiple commands per TCP session) + new directives: TemporaryDirectory, LogClean (Andrey V.

The signature was published by Diego d'Ambra in the daily update 105, 26-Jan-2004 20:23 GMT and we were at least two hours faster than "big" AV vendors: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3764826&forum_id=34654 http://www.pcwelt.de/news/viren_bugs/37278/4.html clamav-devel is finally able to decode OLE2 (Microsoft Office) files and decompress VBA streams ! The code is developed by Trog, official ClamAV developer. Also we're testing new clamd implementation that will solve several important problems (especially that "Time out" related). Please help us and test the latest CVS version. The virus database now contains more than 20.000 signatures ! On January 8, Denis De Messemacker (who joined our team 3 months ago) added signatures for about 7700 new viruses. Also special thanks go to Tomasz Papszun for his hard work on daily submissions and forcing us to keep ClamAV quality on the highest possible level. New mirroring mechanisms. Luca Gibelli (ClamAV) and mirror administrators (22 sites, http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html, please see clamdoc.pdf for a complete mirror information) are converting mirrors to new "push mirroring" method. It uses advanced techniques to ensure all the mirrors are up to date.

Thank you for using ClamAV ! -- Tomasz Kojm November 12, 2003 0.60 ---- Hello again... This is a new, (very?) stable release of Clam AntiVirus. 0.60 was developed and stabilized for over seven months and many people had contributed to the final release. This version introduces many enhancements and a new program: clamav-milter written by ClamAV developer Nigel Horne. This is a mail scanner for Sendmail/milter written entirely in C, which uses clamd for virus scanning. Clamav-milter and clamd duet is a powerful solution for systems where high performance is required. Please check clamdoc for more detail. Many people get confused with ClamAV database status because of the OpenAntiVirus update information at: http://openantivirus.org/latest.php (last update at 17 October, 2002). The ClamAV virus database contains the OAV database (with some signatures fixed or removed) but we develop it independently of the OAV project. Our database is updated frequently (on average 4-5 times a week). You can help (or join) us - will find some basic but useful instructions at http://clamav.elektrapro.com/doc/signatures.pdf News from ClamAV world: -) New email address for virus submitting: virus at clamav.elektrapro.com You don't need to encrypt a virus sample, but if your system doesn't allow you to send infected files just put it into an encrypted zip archive (password: virus) Special thanks to Nicholas Chua, Diego D'Ambra, Hrvoje Habjanic, Nigel Kukard and Chris van Meerendonk for a big number of samples submitted. -) New mailing list: virusdb at clamav.elektrapro.com After each update an email with subject "[clamav-virusdb] Update" and a list of viruses added is sent to it. You can set up a procmail rule for freshclam to react on such a mails (and update the database just after an update). -) New official mirrors: + clamav.ozforces.com: database mirror updated manually (thanks to Andrew ) + clamav.essentkabel.com: full (automatic) mirror of clamav.elektrapro.com (thanks to Chris van Meerendonk ) + clamav.linux-sxs.org: database mirror - rsync from clamav.ozforces.com (thanks to Douglas J Hunley ) Freshclam will automatically use them when the main server is not accessible. -) Official port in FreeBSD available ! (maintained by Masahiro Teramoto ) -) Unofficial port for OpenBSD is available at: http://www.activeintra.net/openbsd/article.php?id=5 (maintained by Flinn Mueller ) -) there are many new programs that use ClamAV, eg. mod_clamav (Apache virus scanning filter), clamdmail or Sagator. You will find more info in clamdoc. Changes: -) libclamav: + fixed buffer overflow in unrarlib (patch by Robbert Kouprie ) + various mbox code updates (fixed memory leak; added support for decoding viruses sent in message bodies, detection of viruses that put their payloads after the end of message marker (thanks to Stephen White for the bug report and useful CGI tools); + zziplib updated to 0.10.81 (some problems with older version were reported by Martin Schitter) + direct scanning of mbox/maildir files (new directive CL_MAIL) + file scanner optimization (patch by Hendrik Muhs ) + bzip2 support + faster detection of malformed Zip archives (eg. 'Zip of Death'), they are reported as a viruses + fixed strcasecmp() compile problem in zziplib on Free/NetBSD and others -) clamd: + fixed descriptor leak in directory scanner - it was causing random clamd crashes and locks, especially on highly loaded servers. Reported by Kristof Petr . + fixed crash with archive scanning on BSD (increased thread stack size) (Nigel Horne) + fixed CONTSCAN command (used by clamdscan) - it had archive support disabled (hardcoded) + fixed SelfCheck option (there was a logic bug, and the option was disabled) it now checks a databases time stamps and reloads them if needed. + fixed possible writing to undefined descriptors (bug found by Brian May ) + new STREAM command (scanning data on socket) and directives: StreamSaveToDisk (save stream to disk to allow scanning within archives), StreamMaxLength. This option allows scanning data on socket (might be sent from another host), currently only clamav-milter uses this. + new ScanMail directive for scanning into mbox/Maildir files + new directive: ArchiveLimitMemoryUsage (limit memory usage with bzip2) + new directive: AllowSupplementaryGroups (feature requested by Exiscan users) + syslog support (LogSyslog) (patch by Hrvoje Habjanic ) + fixed parser segfault with extra space between option and argument in config file (Magnus Ekdahl ) -) clamscan: + fixed --remove option (didn't work when the file was scanned with an internal unpacker) (patch by Damien Curtain ) + --move option for moving infected files into a specified directory (by Damien Curtain ) + --mbox enables a direct support for mbox files (ex. clamscan --mbox /var/spool/mail) + fixed --log (-l) option + fixed -i option (patch by Magnus Ekdahl ) + enabled default archive limits (max-files = 500, max-size = 10M, max-recursion = 5) + use arj instead of non-free unarj (patch by Magnus Ekdahl) + use unzoo instead of non-free zoo (patch by Magnus Ekdahl) + removed thread support freshclam: + mirror support (implemented by Damien Curtain ) + --proxy-user: proxy authorization support (implemented by Gernot Tenchio ) + new options --on-error-execute, --on-update-execute (ex. freshclam -d -c 6 --on-error-execute "sendsms 23332243 Can't update virus database"). Idea by Douglas J Hunley configure: + --disable-cr (don't link with C reentrant library (needed on some newer versions of OpenBSD)) -) Enhanced AIX (thanks to Mike Loewen ) and Tru64 support (thanks to Christophe Varoqui ) -) documentation: + included how-to in Portugese by Alexandre de Jesus Marcolino + clamdoc.pdf and system manual updates Many thanks to Luca 'NERvOus' Gibelli from ElektraPro for his support, to Ken McKittrick from USA DataNet for a fully accessible FreeBSD box and to mailing list subscribers for a constructive discussions. -- Tomasz Kojm June 21, 2003 0.54 ---- Many major changes this time... -) libclamav: + fixed segfault with some strange zip archives (there is a bug in zziplib, libclamav contains a work around for it) (the problem was reported by Oliver Paukstadt ) + engine improvements (better support for a detection of new viruses, limited memory usage (consumes ~ 5 Mb now)) + mbox code updated and moved into the library: fixed core dump when an embedded message includes a mime header with the line Content-Type: without specifying the type of content, fixed (theoretical) memory leak, support for multipart/report messages, fixed bug causing some formats to fail to scan) (Nigel) -) clamd: + new commands: CONTSCAN (it doesn't stop scanning even when virus is found), VERSION + disable logging of a unnecessary time stamps with LogTime when LogVerbose isn't used (patch by Ed Phillips ) -) freshclam: + "Cache-Control: no-cache" enabled by default + Cygwin support fix -) clamdscan: + initial version -) all tools: + removed huge printf() in help() (there was a buffer overflow problem with --help option under Windows and SCO Unix (reported by Wojciech Noworyta and Nigel respectively) -) configure: + allow configuration of the clamav user and group with --with-user and --with-group (patch by Patrick Bihan-Faou ) + --enable-id-check - it uses the check procedure from Jason Englander , currently it will fail on systems with getent which doesn't detect clamav group. + do not overwrite the existing config file There are initial packages for Windows available at: http://clamav.elektrapro.com/binary --tk 0.53 ---- This release has removed the limit for a file name length in clamscan. Some viruses (eg. W32/Yaha.E) are using very long file names, and they were ignored in mbox mode. Users of AMaViS-ng and other wrappers were not vulnerable to this problem, because that programs don't use original attachement file names. -) clamscan: + removed limit for a file name length (thanks to Odhiambo Washington for the test files and extensive mbox testing) + mbox: adapted to the new changes, enabled thread support (Nigel), re-enabled temporary directory removing. 0.52 ---- This version contains a portability fixes - it should compile on OpenBSD, MacOSX and NetBSD (support for them was broken in 0.51). -) clamd: various fixes: + drop supplementary groups (suggested by Enrico Scholz ) (this has been implemented in freshclam, too) + work-around for the segmentation fault at QUIT under FreeBSD + check timeouts when waiting for threads in RELOAD mode + SelfCheck - internal integrity check (by default every 1 hour) + fixed problem with directory scanning on non typical file systems (bug reported by Jason Englander ) + clamd is a system command (clamd.1 -> clamd.8, /usr/local/bin -> /usr/local/sbin) (Magnus Ekdahl) -) clamscan: + mbox code updates (Nigel Horne) - it fixes some problems on *BSD systems (see mailing lists archives for the details) + enable core dumping (Nigel Horne) [ with --enable-debug ] -) freshclam: + applied http-proxy patch from http://bugs.debian.org/clamav (by Martin Lesser ) + when configured with --disable-cache, freshclam forces 'no-cache' option in proxy servers (patch by Ant La Porte ) -) HPUX (10.20/11.0 tested) support (thanks to Joe Oaks ) -) fixed support for SCO Unix and BeOS (Nigel Horne) -) support/mboxscan: new version with SpamAssassin support (Nigel Horne) -) re-included TrashScan 0.08 (by Trashware ) - the security issue has been fixed. -) included "Installing qmail-scanner, Clam Antivirus and SpamAssassin under FreeBSD" how-to by Paul Hoadley and Eric Parsonage 0.51 ---- OAV database is up to date ! There was a problem with signature parsing, because some hex strings were upper case. Anyway, I still recommend you freshclam for a database updating. -) support for the genuine OAV database -) limited memory usage (at the cost of speed, increase CL_MIN_LENGTH in libclamav/clamav.h to make it faster, it's safe to set it on 3-4 for the OAV database) -) fixed compile problem on TurboLinux 6.5 (probably others, too), the bug was reported by Henk Kuipers . -) clamd: fixed THREXIT (thanks to Piotr Gackiewicz ) -) clamd: fixed serious bug with thread argument type -) clamscan: mbox: don't scan empty attachments (Nigel Horne) -) configure: --with-db1, --with-db2 (suggested by Magnus Ekdahl) 0.50 ---- Here it is... Clam AntiVirus 0.50 contains an anti-virus library - libclamav, a fully multi-threaded daemon clamd(1) and a quite long list of changes. The documentation was rewritten and you _should_ review it. By courtesy of NERvOus and ElektraPro, there are three mailing lists available - you can subscribe via www at http://clamav.elektrapro.com/ml. Please check the manual for more information. New software: -) libclamav with RAR, Zip and Gzip support built-in. The library is thread safe and should be very secure, also. It uses UniquE RAR File Library by Christian Scheurer and Johannes Winkelmann (RAR 2.0 support only) and zziplib library by Guido Draheim and Tomi Ollila. Both of them are included and slightly modified in the clamav sources. You need the zlib library for the Zip/Gzip support, though. The API is described with examples in the clamdoc. -) clamd: a modern anti-virus daemon. It uses configuration file clamav.conf described in the clamav.conf(5) manual. The program was written with security as a goal. -) clamuko: on-access scanning under Linux. It utilizes Dazuko kernel module (GPL, http://dazuko.org) and is clamd-based. New features / improvements: -) enhanced scanner engine (better detection of some complex polymorphic viruses) -) clamscan: Nigel Horne has added the ability to scan mail attachments in a filter. For example: $ clamscan -i --mbox - < /var/spool/mail/john /tmp/aa6b9fc06bc477ae/setup.exe: Worm/Klez.H FOUND Nigel is the author of the whole mbox code in clamscan. Currently it only works in a filter mode, but there are plans to move the code into the libclamav and allow clamd using it. Please check support/mboxscan, also. -) clamscan: support for including and excluding multiple patterns with --include and --exclude (patch by Alejandro Dubrovsky ). Example: clamscan --include .exe --include .obj --include .scr /mnt/windows -) clamscan: don't scan /proc files (Linux, st_dev comparing). No more /proc/kcore related mails :)) -) clamscan: use libclamav's archive support by default (it's enabled by default and may be disabled with --disable-archive) and switch to the external unpackers (if specified) in the case of libclamav archive code error. -) freshclam: proxy support (via $http_proxy variable and --http-proxy). I started implementing proxy support some time ago, but never finished. Nigel Horne did the great job and has finished the proxy support ! -) freshclam: --daemon-notify. freshclam will send the RELOAD command to the daemon after database update (supports both tcp and local sockets, it reads clamav.conf to determine the socket type). -) freshclam: support for viruses.db2 Bug fixes: -) freshclam: log 'Database updated' message (thanks to Jeffrey Moskot for the bug report). It now prints a number of signatures in a database, also. -) clamscan: fixed compile problem on Solaris 8 and some other systems - #include lack in others.c (thanks Mike Loewen for the bug report) Documentation: -) included Japanese documentation by Masaki Ogawa -) updated Spanish "Sendmail + Amavis + ClamAv - Como" by Erick I. Lopez Carreon -) rewritten clamdoc, included clamdoc-html, removed PostScript version (.ps) -) Clam-Mutant ;) logo update by Michal Hajduczenia -) new man pages: clamd(1), clamav.conf(5); others updated !!! Please don't use the oav-update script with this version. It doesn't update viruses.db2 and supports OpenAntiVirus.org site only (the last update of the OAV database was 1 July !). Nicholas Chua has generated over 200 new signatures, ClamAV's database is also frequently updated (expecially when new wild virus/worm appears, eg. W32/BugBear.A). This software is still in developement (new software == new bugs), however clamscan should be very stable. You shouldn't use clamd/clamuko (well, clamd is stable, clamuko isn't) on production systems, yet. Please wait for 0.51 at least ;). ClamAV 0.50 was tested on Linux and Solaris and should work fine. There is a problem with clamd on FreeBSD (tested on my FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT) - the daemon crashes with Zip/Gzip files (disabling ScanArchive should help). Enjoy ! -- Tomasz Kojm October 5, 2002 0.24 ---- -) fixed threads deadlock in a critical error situation (bug found by David Sanchez ) -) fixed sigtool bug (negative seeking) -) fixed potential clamscan segfault in the case of memory allocation error -) unpacker execution error is no longer treated as critical - a few programs (eg. Qmail-Scanner, TrashScan) have clamscan command hardcoded with all archive options turned on. Now, if unpacker can't be executed, raw file is scanned and scan process is continued. -) reverted to pthread.h detection -) TrashScan 0.07 (Trashware ) -) --exclude (regular expressions are not supported !) [ex: clamscan --exclude="/proc/kcore" /], but please use it with care. -) included html documentation IMPORTANT NOTE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You will probably have a problem with a default Qmail-Scanner (1.13 or newer) installation. You need to increase qmail-smtpd softlimit or disable it. You can force clamscan to use only half of the memory which it uses by default, too. Please change the following line in the clamscan/matcher.h file: #define MIN_LENGTH 5 to: #define MIN_LENGTH 3 and recompile the program. Unhappily, scanning may be a little slower in some cases, but it shouldn't be significant. Then you can safely set the qmail softlimit to 8 MB. I want to thank Doug Monroe for his contribution in the problem analysis. --- New ClamAV version is in a heavy development. It has currently built-in support for RAR, Zip, Gzip and tar. The daemon will support only built-in compression/archive support. Snapshot will be available for a few days. 0.23 ---- -) fixed compile problem on FreeBSD (thanks to Wieslaw Glod and Ken McKittrick ) -) clamscan reads all .db files from data directory, so you can put your own databases there and they won't be overwrited by the updaters. viruses.db is still the main database file (if --database isn't used). -) --deb (debian binary packages scanning) by Magnus Ekdahl -) --remove option, but be careful with it ! -) new clam logo ;) (GPL) by Michal Hajduczenia . -) TrashScan 0.06 (by Trashware ) - a script for scanning mail with procmail. I recommend it. (support/trashscan) -) documentation updates 0.30 release will contain a daemon and an anti-virus library (with simple API), so you can use it directly in your projects. I want to build in zip and rar support, also. There are binary packages for AIX available. Please check the documentation. 0.22 ---- This release fixes bug with scanning archives in unaccessible directories with *superuser* priviledges (after dropping priviledges scanner wasn't able to access the archive, although the same archive was accessible), thanks for Sergei Pronin for the problem description. Now all archives unaccessible directly by the clamav user are copied (with a respect to --max-space) to the temporary directory. All old filesystem tricks were removed. Other fixes / improvements: -) better error handling, new error codes -) improved -i (--infected) option -) removed --strange-unzip option -) removed eicar test files and logos from the documentation due to the GPL (thanks for Magnus Ekdahl ), ClamAV-Test-Signature is used instead -) removed Qmail-Scanner patch, ClamAV is supported by Q-S 1.13 (thanks guys!) -) code cleanups 0.21 Release ------------ It fixes following problems: -) database downloading in freshclam/0.20 -) malformed amavis-perl patch from 0.20 -) clamscan problems with some unzip versions, please try --strange-unzip option ClamAV 0.21 source package contains initial support for NetBSD (thanks to Marc Baudoin , Jean-Edouard BABIN ), better support for Mac OS X (Masaki Ogawa ), and clamdoc documentation corrected by Dennis Leeuw . 0.20 Release ------------ The most important change in this release is a new, linear pattern matching algorithm. You will find more informations about it in clamscan/matcher.c - in the sources and in clamdoc. Summary (since 0.15): New features: -) fast pattern matching algorithm -) sigtool utility, check `man sigtool` and clamdoc -) Linux: threads autodetection on various architectures (Magnus Ekdahl ) -) -i, --infected: clamscan prints only infected files -) 'Data scanned' in summary, size in megabytes with 16 Kb precision -) configure: --with-dbdir sets the database location -) support/sigmake shell script by Dennis Leeuw -) Spanish "Sendmail+Amavis+ClamAv installation how-to" by Erick I. Lopez Carreon Updates: -) "Debian GNU/Linux Mail Server v. 0.2.0" by Dennis Leeuw -) qmail-scanner patch from Kazuhiko -) general documentation cleanups / updates -) freshclam / Internet database location Fixes: -) threads autodetection on not-x86 Linux systems -) gcc 3.x support (David Ford ) -) data type fix on Mac OS X (Peter N Lewis ) -) removed -w, --whole-file, now clamscan scans whole files by default -w is still supported by internal getopt(), because it is used in various patches -) removed --one-virus, still supported by getopt(); removed 'Found viruses' from summary, clamscan stops file scanning after first virus -) fixed old problem with scanning stdin -) removed amavisd-patch - strange problems have been reported OpenAntiVirus Update is a great tool written by Matthew A. Grant and it will be the primary updater for ClamAV in the near future. In contrast to freshclam it has proxy support and many specific features. Please check clamdoc for more informations and how to obtain it. 0.15 Notes ---------- This version contains minor bugfixes only, such as: -) multiple fixes in freshclam (it has problems, when one of the hosts wasn't accessible), there were logic flaws in the code -) fixed problem with password protected archives (unpackers were waiting for password) New features: -) OpenBSD support (thanks to Kamil Andrusz ) -) added support for amavisd, qmail-scanner (see ./support) There were no major bugs and I was very busy, that's why new version is released just today. In the next 2 months, clamav development will be much faster. Here are some of my plans: ~ 0.20 : New pattern-matching algorithm ~ 0.30 : clamlib; clamscan and the daemon based on it There is a new homepage: http://clamav.elektrapro.com Thanks to ElektraPro.com for sponsoring this site (it's very fast). Thanks to NERvOus . If you are interested in current development versions, please check snapshots link. Resource usage limits in 0.14 ----------------------------- Two new features: --max-files, --max-space have been implemented. If you have enabled one of this options, clamscan monitors resource usage (number of created files and used space) and stops extractor when it has exceeded the limit. You should use these options to protect your machine against Denial of Service attacks. In the near future --max-levels (limit for recursive archives extracting) and --max-time (spent on checking/extracting files) will be implemented. FreeBSD: AMaViS compile problems -------------------------------- Please check FAQ. !!! Strange signatures in VirusSignatures-2002.04.15.10.51.zip !!! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last version of signatures was ~90 kb, this version is ~474 kb. But I don't understand, why some signatures are mega-huge. When I decoded them, they looked like regular files. In CA they were removed from the database and I probably add them later, in normal sizes. Installation : -------------- Please view documentation in ./docs. There are several formats - pdf, ps and plain latex, if you want to compile it yourself. You need GNU make (on Solaris you should have gmake). It was tested only with gcc 2.9x compilers.

I can run firefox fine from my main account. However, I am unable to invoke it from a second account, and I can't figure out why. I get these rolling "loading the extensions datasource" messages for a while (I think 25 of them) and then it bails without the final message you see. But, since I rarely use my secondary account, I have not bothered to delve into it in detail. I've also had some problems with extensions. Some just don't work, but I've never had firefox refuse to come up. Were you running as root when you loaded the extensions? If not, all the changes should be under your home directory. Unfortunately, firefox seems to store things in a number of diverse places: ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.firefox ~/.gconfd ~/.gconf-csw Fortunately, all but the first seems benign. Here's what I would suggest: Try moving .mozilla/firefox to .mozilla/firefox.save and then restart firefox. If this works, then you can selectively restore things like your bookmarks and reload the extensions that work, staying away from the ones that break things. If it doesn't, well, I dunno. Good luck.

Hey Robert! It's probably not a serious problem if you have multiple copies of some software on your system. The CSW (blastwave) packages are very good about being self-contained to the /opt/csw directory. there are very few files that are installed outside of this location with the infrequent exception of some things that may end up in /etc, /etc/dt (for gnome, etc.) or modifications made to file in /etc/init.d. However, having multiple copies of software can lead to confusion. You might find that you install a newer version of something from blastwave and then it turns out that you are still running the older version of the software because it is located earlier in your PATH. (I just did that very thing yesterday with the vim editor!) Also, you might find that you are looking at the manual page for an older version of the software and end up getting incorrect information. Because of this, I have decided to bite the bullet, track down the old software and remove it. If I'm installing a duplicate package from blastwave, I usually rename my old binaries, library directories and manual pages .OLD. I then install the blastwave package and test it out. If everything works OK, I then go back and delete the *.OLD files from the system. One exception to this rule has been the gnome software. I found that there are problems running CSW's gnome 2.6 package on my dual-headed box, although the 2.6 gnome applications fix many problems over Sun's 2.0 distribution. So I left Sun's gnome 2.0 packages installed and also installed CSW's gnome 2.6. At the login window you will find entries for both 2.0 and 2.6 sessions. If you are using gnome, try 2.6 and see if it works for you. In my case I still use the 2.0 window manager, but I have created many menu entries where I specifically access the applications under /opt/csw/bin. There are still bugs in gnome, but this has worked out pretty well. I hope when gnome 2.8 is released more problems will disappear. If you're a boater, check out the "xtide" package I recently added. It will give you a really nice tide clock and you can print out your own tide charts. I also recently added a "spider" solitaire card game and the "par" paragraph reformatter which does much more than fmt(1). (I just added par last night so it may not show up for a few more days.)
