Subject: [Clamav-users] Database correctly reloaded (0 signatures)
Folks,

On Monday, 12:49 Pacific Time, June 23, 2008 freshclam on my production system updated the virus signatures and notified clamd. During that time, clam did not properly reload the previously cited 231780 plus signatures and as a result began marking all checked files as 'safe', including possible virus candidate files. I would like to request that if clamd loads 0 signatures, then this is reported as a CRITICAL error in the logs as this posses a security risk. I am requesting a change in the clamd C code program logic. I don't know if this would effect any users adversely that count on 0 signatures as being in a secure state.

Thanks,
-OSC
