I'm also using clamd with FreeBSD. Yes, scanning a zip files kills the daemon. There is also a bug whereby the daemon can not be shut down cleanly. Someone else has confirmed the same problem in a message to this list recently. As to the first problem I have disabled archive scanning. I use amavisd and that makes a fine job of exploding archives so I have no need to get clamd to do it. And the second. Well I don't shutdown the daemon often. But when I do I'm using a script to kill it and then remove the socket file. Not ideal, but it does for now. > 2.

I'm using Postfix and amavisd-new-20020517 with some crude hacking to work with clamd. And just to be on the safe side whilst clamd remains experimental, the hacking is done that it falls back on clamscan if the daemon has died. -- Chris Hastie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
