Previously I used the amavisd-new and clamav from RPMFORGE and since
their version hasn't been updated yet thought I'd give the version
on extras a try. I haven't been able to get clamav to work.
Apparently, the RPMFORGE version allows one to use
/var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock" - but I haven't been able to find that
file in the extras version.
I think this is a temporary file (not really a file - a socket id for
inter-program communication perhaps).
When I installed amavisd-new from
extras, yum pull the following packages as requisites:
amavisd-new-2.3.3-5.fc5 clamav-lib-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-server-0.88.1-1.fc5 clamav-data-0.88.1-1.fc5
For clamav alone I have: rpm -qa|grep clam|sort
clamav-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-data-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-lib-0.88.1-1.fc5
clamav-update-0.88.1-1.fc5
Error: Missing Dependency: clamav-lib = 0.88-2.fc5 is needed by
package clamav-devel
Did you write this one down correctly ? It seems the current version is
0.88.1-1.fc5 on my machine. What repos do you have enabled ?
I don't think you need the -devel rpm
try to get clamscan going first:
# yum install clamav
# edit /etc/freshclam as needed
# freshclam --verbose
# clamscan --verbose --log=clamscan.20060417.txt --recursive --infected
/home/
Are you looking at some howto info for amavisd ? try:
