I reinstalled Redhat 9.0, sendmail 8.13, bzip2-devel-1.0.2-8.i386.rpm and sendmail-devel-8.12.8- 9.90.i386.rpm followed instructions from docs at web site I changed permissions : chmod 777 /root/clamav-0.80 chown clamav /root/clamav-0.80 and now it is working fine. It has detected virus mails from "www.testvirus.org" . Now facing new problem: I tried to installed exactly same softwares and configuration on other Linux Redhat 9.0 box having sendmail running perfectly as per instructions of howto: I installed bzip2-devel-1.0.2-8.i386.rpm sendmail-devel-8.12.8-9.90.i386.rpm compiled clamav with "./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-milter" I forgot to create clamav user and group so I got error while compiling. I created clamav user and group and once again compiled clamav. Now when I use command "/usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter -lo /var/run/clmilter.sock" I get error : [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter -lo /var/run/clmilter.sock /var/run/clamd.sock: No such file or directory Can't talk to clamd server via /var/run/clamd.sock Check your entry for LocalSocket in /etc/clamd.conf clamd.conf has line "LocalSocket in /etc/clamd.conf" checked for "/var/run/clamd.sock" file which is not present in "/var/run" directory. Is it mandatory to create clamav user and group before compiling "./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-milter" Please guide. Thanks for support. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
