i scarfed up the clam rpms the other day. there were two sets
i could see for clamav, one based on 0.65 (bad) and one
based on the much more recent 0.68-1:
clamav-db-0.68-1.rhfc1.dag
clamd-0.68-1.rhfc1.dag
clamav-0.68-1.rhfc1.dag
i don't recommend using a 0.65 based rpms, there is a known
DOS against 0.66 and older (i may be somewhat sensitizied
to this, as i spent part of last saturday cleaning up the mess
after a DOS against a server running 0.60.)
anyway, freshclam is most assuredly included in that particular
set of rpms.
