[Clamav-users] Some Help on initial configuring clamd.conf
Hi, My questions would appear somehow dumb for some experts of yours but here they are : Can someone tell me the differences between clamav-server and clamav ? what's clamav-server and do I need it ? trying to #/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 clamav- on, idem for clamd.conf : what is ? what are the differences between clamscan and clamdscan ? I have not find anything simple for my two little brain cells but relevant in clamav's docs and/or users' mailing lists... Thank's for your help ! Marc My distrib : Fedora Core 4 + clamav + clamav-lib + clamav-server + clamav-data + clamav-update (0.88.1.fc4) (no sendmail nor postfix or other SMTP, just my poor little linux box with Mozilla 1.7.12-5) ___ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html

Clamscan is a commandline scanner which loads the DB's every time it is called. Clamdscan communicates with the clamd server, which is the more efficient method as the clamd daemon loads the DB's once at startup, (and then just when the DB's are updated). Matt ___ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html ok, that's fine, so when I need to scan a directory, I'll use clamdscan in the future. Now, I'm trying to install clamd as a deamon, running at every linux startup. Here is the output of /etc/init.d/clamd.init : [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]$ more clamd.init #!/bin/bash # # chkconfig: - 75 25 # description: The clamd server running for CLAMD_SERVICE=clamav-server . /usr/share/clamav/clamd-wrapper [EMAIL PROTECTED] init.d]$ Last question : What do I need to put into ? If I clear the field, clamd-init complains about clamd.conf not configured. Il I insert something like, let's say "clamd" wich is the daemon I'd hope to start, here is the output : Démarrage de clamd.clamav-server :/etc/init.d/functions: line 148: clamd.clamd : command not found [ÉCHOUÉ] (failed) Of course clamd.clamd or clamd.whatever are not meant to be found among any existing executable in /usr/sbin or /usr/bin I have the sensation that I will have to edit myself some *.conf files, replacing variables... which makes me feel rather inconfortable Anyway, many thanks for your help !

The above is specific to your distro. Type, from the commandline: /path/to/clamd If it starts from that command, (shown by ps as running), the error is in the startup script on your system. If not, you may need to check paths/configs. Matt ___ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html yes, something I don't know about had to be done somewhere. I have made some little modifications to clamd.conf, clamd.init, clamd-wrapper (a symlink) and now, everything works fine and start as required. Surely not like Fedora Extras intends to... but it's doing good now, Thanks, Marc ___ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
