Actually, it doesn't seem related to the clamav restart since some servers experienced problems beforehand. We're using sanesecurity sigs as well. In several cases, I had to delete all sigs in order to get clamd to startup. I then ran freshclam and installed sanesecurity sigs - restarted clamd again and had no problem. Since we've never had any problems of this nature with clamav before I assumed that this was a signature related issue (especially since deleting the sigs allowed clamd to start) that everyone using clamav would be experiencing - that's why I didn't think it necessary to include OS and version in the original post. -- Roberto Ullfig - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
