Hi Jason,
Thank you for your suggestion. I've increased the softlimit to 600MB,
and it was working for about 20 minutes, then it fails again. I notice
that when clamd fails, it has the following error messages
Sun, 09 Dec 2007 15:28:41 EST:30311: --output of clamdscan was:
connect(): Connection refused
WARNING: Can't connect to clamd.
I would have to restart clamd for it to work. After the restart, it will
work for about a few minutes, then it will fail again. I am not sure
what to do at this point. It doesn't make sense to increase to softlimit
to 1GB or even higher. Any ideas. Please help.
Jerry
