Hello world,
I am working to ready openantivirus ScannerDaemon, or parts of it, for
Debian (
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=124357&repeatmerged=yes
). Running test I came of with something I think you should be aware of.
Running Scanner Daemon as ``java -jar ScannerDaemon-0.2.0'' and
connecting trying to scan for a virus as ``SCAN /tmp/lb.doc.pif'' I
receive and OK message. ScanenrDaemon only says:
Scanning.../tmp/lb.doc.pif...took 22ms
So there are no apprent errors.
Now, when doing exactly the same thing issueing : ``kaffe -jar
ScannerDaemon-0.2.0'' I receive the correct answer
lars@isidor:~$ nc localhost 8127
SCAN /tmp/lb.doc.pif
FOUND: Sircam (F-Prot)
lars@isidor:~$
That is using Blackdown Java 2r1.3 ScannerDaemon silently reports no
virus.
I will now try and upgrade java, scannerdaemon and everything, but it is
still a cause of worry that your choice of java virtual machine can make
such a difference, at least silently.
