Is it advisable to use softlimits with clamd?
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qscand \ /usr/local/bin/softlimit -a 40000000 /usr/local/sbin/clamd
An immediate solution would be to use softlimit and clamdwatch. So,
clamd exceeds memory usage -> ulimit prevents allocationg memory -> scanning stops -> clamdwatch reports clamd dead -> kill clamd -> start clamd
Something like that. Although personally my clamd works great without leaks, I still use clamdwatch. http://mikecathey.com/code/clamdwatch/ You might have to add script to kill & start clamd manually
