Description Jordan Russell 2012-07-04 04:40:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Messages from clamd appear in /var/log/messages even when LogSyslog is disabled in scan.conf. This occurs because clamd also writes its messages to stdout, which F16's systemd copies to syslog by default.

To fix this, clamd.scan.service should include the following line in the [Service] section:
StandardOutput=null

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
clamav-0.97.3-1600.fc16

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Comment out LogSyslog in scan.conf
2. Restart clamd.scan.service
  
Actual results:
clamd entries still written to /var/log/messages

Expected results:
No clamd entries

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 13:29:47 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Jordan Russell 2013-01-19 03:38:49 UTC
Same issue exists in current Fedora 17 packages, and the same fix applies.

Only update: the service file is now called clamd@.service

Comment 3 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2013-02-27 21:06:27 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 05:35:56 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
