I had clamav-milter working as well as clamd, then for some reason clamd stopped and would not create the socket. After much hair pulling, I finally tracked the problem(s) down to /etc/clamd.conf. After commenting all the stuff out that was providing errors, it is now working again. I had somehow mixed versions from sourceforge and centos, and when I could not get things to update correctly, I removed clamav-milter and reinstalled it. My question is about clamd. " clamd --version yields ClamAV 0.88.7/2314/Sun Dec 10 15:02:13 2006 " Is this the most current version available from centos? In the logs, there is a note about it being drastically outdated and pointed me to an FAQ file on clamd. I don't want to go through that hassle of mixing repos and get all fouled up again. Thanks Sam

I further assume that my configuration file will contain obsolete or errant directives that will prevent the upgraded clamd from starting. There's no such thing as a hands-off ClamAV upgrade. :-/ -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> http://www.madboa.com/
