Re: [Clamav-users] clamd PING

If you chose the LocalSocket method of communicating with clamd, you ca use a very cool piece of software called socat to send commands to clamd. You can read about it here: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/. Read the instructions on how to compile it, and then do: socat - /tmp/clamd (

Re: [Clamav-users] clamav vs amavis (was: Where is the quanantine folder?)

In short: amavisd-new is an interface between a mail server (such as Postfix), and content filters, such as Anti-Virus (ClamAV for example), Spam Filtering (such as SpamAssassin), etc. It also does some filtering of its own, for example: it bans files that have two extensions: Ronny.exe.vbs for ex

Re: [Clamav-users] Where is the quanantine folder?

Are you using it with Amavisd-new? If so, check amavisd.conf for "$QUARANTINEDIR". Normally it's "$QUARANTINEDIR = '/var/virusmails';" I would look under /var. See if you have a /var/clamav/quarantine/ or something like that. Sorry, never worked with Qmail. -RoNNY On 7/17/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <

[Clamav-users] AllowSupplementaryGroups

Hello. I can't find anywhere a good explanation for this setting. "man 5 clamd.conf" gives: "Initialize supplementary group access (clamd must be started by root)." Great... What does that mean? Thanks -RoNNY ___ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-u

Re: [Clamav-users] Question about clamd commands

Ged. Would you kindly provide the full command that you'll use to send a PING to clamd, assuming the socket is /tmp/clamd? Thanks -RoNNY On 6/8/05, G.W. Haywood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > On Wed, 8 Jun 2005 Robert Hogan wrote: > > > I don't think it's possible to telnet to

Re: [Clamav-users] Question about clamd commands

Thanks guys. I tried to do this on Fedora (telneting the socket as Noel suggested), and it doesn't work. I simply changed my clamd.conf so that clamd now works as a TCP socket instead. By default is port 3310 on 127.0.0.1 , and then I simply Telnet it, and issued a PING: # tel

[Clamav-users] Question about clamd commands

Hello everyone. My apologies if this is the gazillionth time that you read this question. In the documentation, it says that clamd accepts commands such as PING, VERSION, etc. Every time I start clamd, it just starts the daemon in the background. If I do "clamd PING", I get a daemon namedcla
