I encountered a problem with 0.94.1 on FreeBSD-5.5, but in my case, I
compiled it from the ports. Yes, the ports has it.
My problem is that clamd kept on restarting indefinately. This was not
happening with 0.93.3. So after pulling off so much of my hair , and posting
to the list and getting no responses, I decided to manually compile and see.
I used the following configure options:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-group=clamav \
--disable-clamuko --with-user=mailnull \
--disable-gethostbyname_r \
--disable-zlib-vcheck \
--disable-clamav \
--enable-bigstack \
--enable-readdir_r \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
--disable-bzip2
Strangely, after I installed, it was able to run without the endless
restarting. I don't know what is in the ports that did this, but I think
it's not the ports. Rather it's something in 0.94.1. Not sure though,
I use Exim, as opposed to Postfix, so if you decide to try my way, be very
careful with the "--with-user=mailnull".
Not sure if that will help, but I am so far happy.
As regards upgrading from FreeBSD-5.5 as some may ask, I already have a
7.1-PRERELEASE which will replace this server. I am gonna migrate all the
services.
