ClamAV has a "FixStaleSocket"-directive in the config file, try it.Just as a "hey, i got caught by this too", clamd doesn't kill the socket when it crashes. so if you're using a local socket ( /tmp/clamd.something ) make sure it's erased before you try to start clamd after a crash. One of the reasons that i stopped using local sockets, and started using tcp/ip sockets. Makes it easier for my monitoring scripts to restart the server, and firewall rules don't let external access to it anyway.
Developers: i'm woefully inept at programming, so this may be a stupid question. Couldn't you erase the previous local socket (if it exists) when clamd starts? Or is that just generally a bad best practice? I have no idea.

I have a system running RH 9.0, qmail, qmail-scanner, and clam. ClamI thinks it's a time to increase your softlimit.
has been running fine for a few months now. As of today, the service
has stopped, and I simply cannot get it running. When I try to start
clam, it appears to start but doesn't. I can't find anything in the
logs, other than it started. There is no process running, though. I
decided to reinstall clam, but still the same thing happens. I'm at a
loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA - Allyn

This is fixed in CVS, but check if your local socket (/tmp/clamd.ctl or /var/run/clamd.ctl, see your config) exists, and remove it.
