Package: clamav-daemon Version: 0.90.3-1 Severity: normal When clamd starts, it reads the virus definitions and only then creates the clamd.ctl socket. When used with amavisd, this causes amavisd to fail:
Jun 2 09:06:02 seamus amavis[6785]: (06785-01) (!!) ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: Too many retries to talk to /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl (Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory) at (eval 44) line 268. and to pass the mail to the secondary AV scanners, or just pass it if none are configured. Would it not make more sense to create the socket immediately, and to block, or to return something like EUNAVAIL until clamd has finished initialising, so that amavisd know that it should wait? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
