Is this message still appearing? >>> So I touched /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl Remove this file, 'touch' creates regular files, not sockets, and in any case not the milter or sendmail can use what you create.

It's optional, clamav-milter looks for your sendmail.cf file in /etc and /etc/mail (to make the sanity check Niegel mentioned). > "clamav-milter start" hangs here, > > 8><-------- > + pidfile=/dev/null > + OPTIND=1 > + getopts fn:p: opt > + shift 0 > + '[' /usr/sbin/clamav-milter = -- ']' > + exec=/usr/sbin/clamav-milter > + shift > + '[' 0 = 1 ']' > + '[' /dev/null ']' > + eval /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --nicelevel 0 --quiet --exec > /usr/sbin/clamav-milter --oknodo --pidfile /dev/null -- --max-children=2 > -ol --pidfile /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.pid > local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl > ++ /sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --nicelevel 0 --quiet --exec > /usr/sbin/clamav-milter --oknodo --pidfile /dev/null -- --max-children=2 > -ol --pidfile /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.pid > local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl Looks good. The clmilter.sock probably is from an old sendmail configuration, or you have more than one installation of sendmail. -- René Berber _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
