I think the reason for this is the fact that the init script that starts clamd tries to create a PID file in /var/run/clamd.clamd/ /var/run/ is now tempfs and is thus wiped clean at reboot so the directory does not exist and the script fails. I have reported this as bug 723544. In the meantime I have (temporarily) solved the problem by modifying the clamd-wrapper script as follows: In the definitions section: CLAMD_PIDDIR=/var/run/clamd.${CLAMD_SERVICE} and in the "start" stanza: if [ ! -d $CLAMD_PIDDIR ] ; then mkdir $CLAMD_PIDDIR && chown clamd:clamd $CLAMD_PIDDIR fi This was with the help of Gene on the Fedora list. See: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-July/402001.html *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 723544 *** |
