Hello all, I'm running into a problem that is preventing me from progressing further with a little project I'm working on. I'm sure I've simply misconfigured something, but I can't for the life of me interact with the clamd.ctl fifo pipe. The error I get when I try to push data to the pipe is: "No such device or address" which is ENXIO (so it doesn't seem to be a permissions problem, and I didn't get back a ENODEV so the file is definitely there). In the paste output below, I set clamd.conf up with USER andrew so I could test my script as my user. I get the same behaviour when I su to clamav (and change USER to clamav in clamd.conf). Your input in this is greatly appreciated. I'm embarrassed to admit how long I've been banging my head against this.
