Re: [clamav-users] Using clamd@ service vs launching clamd from command line

[neel roy via clamav-users]

I am using EPEL version and I don't think I have a choice. But it _might_ 
be worth looking at difference.

Thanks in advance,
-Neel.

Are you using clsmav from the clamav site, or the EPEL version ?

SystemD and permission settings may be different in the two packaged
versions.

I know that that the .deb from clamav is sufficiently different from
the version that ships with Ubuntu that I stick with the Ubuntu version,
even though it is not as up-to-date.
