Description Phil Anderson 2005-08-02 00:44:32 UTC
Description of problem:
When starting clamav after updating to 86.2-2, the following error is printed to
the console, and clamav doesn't start.  Note that --timeout is not listed in
/etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter

/usr/sbin/clamav-milter: --timeout must not be given if --external is not given


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
86.2-2 and 86.2-3.  Downgrading to 86.1-2 fixes the problem.

How reproducible:
100%

Here is the contents of my /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter:
## The '-blo' options might be usefully here -- especially for testing; see
## "man 8 clamav-milter" for further options
CLAMAV_FLAGS='-q -l -A --max-children=2 -c /etc/clamd.d/milter.conf
local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock'
CLAMAV_USER='clamilt'

Comment 1 Phil Anderson 2005-08-03 00:39:00 UTC
Upgrade to 0.86.2-4 fixes this:

* Sat Jul 30 2005 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz.de> - 0.86.2-4

- [milter] create the milter-logfile in the %post scriptlet
- [milter] reverted the change of the default child_timeout value; it
  was set to 5 minutes in 0.86.2 which conflicts with the internal
  mode where a timeout must not be set. So, the clamav-milter would
  not run with the default configuration
