You've just hit the problem: Which distributions should the "Clam Team" be spending time on - Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu, SUSE - - - my favorite, your favorite ? This is not a unique complaint to Clam - I see similar problems on the MailMan list, and RedHat/Fedora again is a big source of complaints. As far as I know, across Linux, packages for distibutions are the responibility of the distro, not the project in question. Fedora is fairly well known for making changes to the default way that applications are set up, often moving things around (files, sockets, etc). I think what the OP is asking for misses this fact. When you install Clam from Fedora packages, basicly you need to get support from Fedora. Maybe you need a different distro, that keeps things in default locations. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
