Somewhere out there!

Well dansguardian is working, and the anti-virus scanner is doing its job.

The only change I need to make in order to get the debian package built with dpkg-buildpackage was removing the reference to -lz in debian/rules.

Although there isn’t much documentation it looks like the newer version 6, is based on libclamav. So probably no external wrapper required. I’m not 100%, due to the lack of good documentation, but hopefully it uses this means the clamav-freshclam will keep the scan updated.

One problem I discovered was accessing this site, via dansguardian with the gzip option set under Options>Reading. Looks like the mime content-type in the header has got mangled. So konqueror asks for gziped html, gets it, but doesn’t realised its been gzipped and doesn’t uncompressed the html stream. I’m not sure if this is a dansguardian problem or a problem with the anti-virus patch.

In due course after some more testing, I’ll probably put the packages I’ve built somewhere like http://debian.ii.net.nz.
