syslog not working?

[Kevin Spicer]

David, you got me a bit worried (I made some small changes to the syslog
code in clamav-autoupdate, which Julian kindly merged into 4.20), but
I've just checked by upgrading my home machine from 4.10 to 4.20-3 and
it seems to be working fine.

Which version of Clam are you using (any of the 'stable' releases should
give you 'ClamAV Updated' under all circumstances, whereas any of the
snapshot releases should give you a message conditional on Clam's exit
status).  I don't _think_ its anything I've done, since my changes
should write something, no matter what happens.

I don't know what your logging set up is (my info & error go to
different files) so it might be worth mentioning that the new autoupdate
script logs with severity error rather than info when something goes
wrong.

I upgraded today from MS 4-10 to MS 4-20-3 I also use ClamAV. When the
hourly update check is performed the syslog calls in clamav-autoupdate
don't appear to be working - there is no output from the script in the
maillog file. I have checked the syslog settings and all syslog calls
for
mail are logged. The calls in the update-virus-scanners do work.

I am running RH7.3 and perl 5.6.1

Any ideas??
