I believe in there you will find a script that can be used to launch the daemon on boot. find Clamav-source-directory -type f -name "*.sh". Perhaps the one in clamav-milter/clamd.sh but you did not tell us how you installed it so I am just assuming. > Lastly, once Clam is started up does it automatically scans files like > Nortons? or does it simply sit in the background until scan time comes > around? It does not. You have to tell it when to scan files. You must use it with some Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) like Postfix, Sendmail, Exim, etc... You must configureit also. > Any help would be great and very much appreciated. http://clamav.elektrapro.com/doc/html/ > BTW, as you may have noticed I am a real n00b so if you feel I should be > reading something feel free to say so, unlike some n00bs I would rather > understand what I am doing and just add a little bit of knowledge as I move > along in my learning curve :) Everyone is a n00b at some point ;) -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "The box said 'Requires Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' Tel: +254 2 313985-9 +254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD."
