On a freshly installed Fedora Core 4 box, with all patches applied, I
installed qmail and qmail scanner as I've done numerous times before.
This time however, qmail-scanner gives me odd results.
I've increased softlimits to 15M, 25M, 50M, 100Meg, so that's not the
problem.
clamd is running as root. I can clamdscan anything I want to on the box,
but when qmail-scanner uses it, I always get a failure.
Wed, 30 Nov 2005 16:43:18 CST:3476: run /usr/bin/clamdscan --no-summary
--config-file=/etc/clamd.d/clamd.conf
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/test.private.ycc11333905984933476 2>&1
Wed, 30 Nov 2005 16:44:18 CST:3476: --output of clamdscan was:

ERROR: Can't connect to clamd.

Wed, 30 Nov 2005 16:44:18 CST:3476: error_condition:
X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25: clamdscan: corrupt or unknown clamd scanner error
or memory/resource/perms problem - exit status 512/2
To debug this, I added a line of code into the PERL script:
sleep 60;
just before clamdscan is called, so that the directory and
files to be scanned are available to me for 60 seconds, so I can run a
manual clamdscan on that structure.
Here's that sequence:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] qmailscan# clamdscan
--config-file=/etc/clamd.d/clamd.conf
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/test.private.ycc11333905984933476/
/var/spool/qmailscan/tmp/test.private.ycc11333905984933476/: OK
----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 0

[EMAIL PROTECTED] qmailscan# echo $?

Here's what's in the log for that particular email once the 60 seconds
elapsed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] qmailscan# tail -n6 qmail-queue.log

X-Qmail-Scanner-1.25: clamdscan: corrupt or unknown clamd scanner error
or memory/resource/perms problem - exit status 512/2
I'm running what qmail-scanner is running, and mine works and the one
from inside qmail-scanner doesn't. I'm running as root of course, and
qmail-scanner isn't, but since clamd is running as root, and so is
clamdscan as per the config file, I fail to understand where the
difference is.
Any ideas? I've spent 2 days on this and can't figure it out.
Thanks
