clamav doesn't start after update to 86.2-2
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:11 EST
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'
Upgrade to 0.86.2-4 fixes this: * Sat Jul 30 2005 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@informatik.tu-chemnitz.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
