Thanks for the quick reply!
Yep, they're referencing the same socket file (clamd.ctl is the socket
file). As shown here:
#grep clamd.ctl /etc/clamav/clamd.conf /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf:LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
/etc/amavis/amavisd.conf: \&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n",
"/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl"],
and:
# ls -Al /var/run /var/log /var/lib | grep clamav
drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis amavis 4096 2007-07-10 09:25 clamav
drwxrwxr-x 2 amavis amavis 4096 2007-07-10 09:25 clamav
drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis amavis 4096 2007-07-10 10:24 clamav
drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis amavis 4096 2007-07-10 09:04 clamav-getfiles
I guess since I'm kind of new to Amavis I'm not sure what ask_daemon in
the amavis config file is supposed to do, and what is causing Amavis to
not see that clamd is up and running.
Any pointers anyone can offer would be gratefully appreciated!
