Yes, I am a newbie. I can manually run a virus check on my machine and on my mail program (evolution), using Clamav. My goal, is to automatically update my virus database and scan my email automatically as it arrives. To this end, I have tried to configure and use clamd. On booting my machine I receive the following error. Starting Clam Antivirus Daemon: Error: You must select server type (local/TCP) I've tried and tried to configure my clamd.conf using gedit. I always end up with the above error. Also, I have tried to restart the clamd.conf file after changing it, but cannot. Please tell me the steps or procedure for doing this. The following is an excerpt from my clamd.conf file. Any help and/or explanations would be greatly appreciated. stanch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # The daemon works in a local OR a network mode. Due to security reasons we # recommend the local mode.
# Path to a local socket file the daemon will listen on. Default: enabled LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock # Remove stale socket after unclean shutdown. Default: enabled FixStaleSocket # TCP port address. # Default: disabled #TCPSocket 3310 # TCP address. # By default we bind to INADDR_ANY, probably not wise. # Enable the following to provide some degree of protection # from the outside world. # Default: disabled # TCPAddr 127.0.0.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for your time and patience _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
