[»] no clamd daemon - PLEASE HELP
by lukeiam - Aug 17th 2006 19:35:06

I've installed via yum clamav on fc5 and I got everything besides clamd. I have clamd manual but no daemon. I have clamd in /usr/sbin but when I try to run it from there - instead of "service clamd start" - it tells me clamd.conf does not exist. when I run "service clamd start" it says clamd not recongnized...

please help...

Great software! Easy to use. A daemon, some command line tools, two configuration files. Excellent documentation (incl. man pages).

The classic UNIX way: small and beautiful.

And it works and is really fast. :)

Why do you think so ? If you have problems accessing the main site you should setup freshclam to use the clamav.ozforces.com mirror for database updates.

What's wrong with the main site?
Clamav users like me are having problems to update the virus database with freshclam.
Is there a way to set up freshclam with a mirror?
How can we check the validity of a mirror?

There are two official mirrors: clamav.essentkabel.com (updated automatically from elektrapro) and clamav.ozforces.com (updated manually). The newest freshclam (http://clamav.elektrapro.com/snapshot) or http://clamav.ozforces.com/clamav-20030403.tar.gz switches to the mirror automatically.
