problem with clamav 0.86.2-3 on fc3

[Ankush Grover]

hey friends,

Today I downloaded clamav rpms from 

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/3/i386/

 clamav-0.86.2-3.fc3.i386.rpm
 clamav-data-0.86.2-3.fc3.i386.rpm
 clamav-lib-0.86.2-3.fc3.i386.rpm
 clamav-milter-1.86.2-3.fc3.i386.rpm
 clamav-server-0.86.2-3.fc3.i386.rpm
clamav-update-0.86.2-3.fc3.i386.rpm


there was no problem in installing them ,but when I try to start the
clamav-milter service it gave me the error.The error is below

Starting clamav-milter: /usr/sbin/clamav-milter: --timeout must not be
given if --external is not given
                                                           [FAILED]



I don't know the solution for this problem.

Moreover what is the use of clamd-wrapper service ,when I tried to
start it the system says

service clamd-wrapper start
clamd-wrapper: unrecognized service

Earlier I removed the word "example" from /etc/clamd.d/milter.conf.

There is no clamd.conf file in the /etc/.


Thanks & Regards

I had the same error with clamav upgrade on FC4.

Edit "/etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter" and insert "--timeout=0" as one of

your CLAMAV_FLAGS.

The clamav-milter man page states the "timeout" default is zero, but it 
didn't seem to work.

HTH

Try adding "--timeout 0" to /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter

Doesn't that mean there's no /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd-wrapper ?

hey ,

thanks Paul and Miles

I did added --timout=0 to the /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter

but now some other problem is coming

Starting clamav-milter: /usr/sbin/clamav-milter: Can't parse the
config file /etc/clamd.conf
                                                           [FAILED]

I copied the clamd.conf file from the docs of the clamav-server into
the /etc/ directory and commented the line "Example" in clamd.conf
file.

Now the service is getting started.

Does clamav-milter needs this file or there is something wrong with my
configuration ?

clamd-wrapper is there in  /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd-wrapper 

What can be the problem that the clamd-wrapper is not working ?

Even the freshclam cron file is also missing in the cron.daily directory.


Are there many major changes from .85 to .86 versions of clamav.
I think I need to look at the change logs.



Thanks & Regards

I also installed clamav on FC4. Could anyone, please,
explain how could I set the update to work
automatically? Moreover, flashcam works just when I am
as root (#). Is that correct?
Thanks!

there is a freshclam file in /etc/cron.daily .That automatically runs
every nite and updates the database.
