Ignoring deprecated option AllowSupplementaryGroups error

Hi,

I'm running CENTOS 6.10 virtuozzo v72.0.10. After a recent update, I've been receiving the following daily cron warning -

/etc/cron.daily/freshclam:
WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option AllowSupplementaryGroups at line 60
​

I've contacted my hosting support and asked them to stop the message or fix the issue, and they've responded as follows -

The message received from cPanel updates which run daily. Some part of the message is from /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam cron. We have changed the time for this cron job so you will not receive some part of it daily. This is the message from the system so it can not be stopped so you can ignore it.
​

I don't know what they've done, but I am continuing to get this daily cron message. Is there anything I can do to stop it? It will drive me crazy!

Hope someone can advise.

Myles

 

Hi Michael,

It's not a big file, so I'll copy it here, rather than upload an attachment. This is the freshclam file in /etc/cron.daily/

#!/bin/sh

### A simple update script for the clamav virus database.
### This could as well be replaced by a SysV script.

### fix log file if needed
LOG_FILE="/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log"
if [ ! -f "$LOG_FILE" ]; then
touch "$LOG_FILE"
chmod 644 "$LOG_FILE"
chown clamav.clamav "$LOG_FILE"
fi

/usr/bin/freshclam \
--quiet \
--datadir="/var/lib/clamav" \
--log="$LOG_FILE" \
--daemon-notify="/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/clamd.conf"​

 

I can see that a freshclam file is located at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/freshclam

Should that be referenced in the daily cron instead of the one at /usr/bin/freshclam \ ?

I've attached a copy of it as a text doc. It looks a bit weird, so not sure if it's meant to look this way?

 

I'm not sure how that cron job came to be created. I'll ask my host to remove it, along with any third-party install of ClamAV.

Thanks for the advice.

 

Ok, I've asked my host to remove the cron job and third party ClamAV. I also referred them to this thread. I've received this response -

They also included this -

It looks like they've ignored my request and updated the third-party ClamAv?

I assume ClamAv installed with cPanel is automatically kept up to date, and probably not a good idea to have two installs of ClamAV running at the same time?

 

The output after running

Code:

rpm -qa|grep clam

is as follows -

If I run

Code:

yum remove clamav*

on the command line, that will remove the third-party ClamAV and leave the cPanel ClamAV intact, yes?

Presumably I then just need to remove the cron job my host created, for the the third-party ClamAV.
