Description John Horne 2013-05-08 10:16:55 UTC
Description of problem:
The /etc/init.d/clamd file has discrepancies with the supplied /etc/clamd.conf file:

1) The 'config:' line is: # config: /etc/clamav.conf
   but the config file is actually /etc/clamd.conf

2) The 'stop' function has the wrong path for the socket file. The line is 
   currently: rm -f /var/clamav/clamd.socket
   but the clamd.conf file has: LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock





Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
clamd-0.97.8-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Install the 'clamd' package.
'grep' for 'sock' in /etc/init.d/clamd and /etc/clamd.conf
The differences will then be seen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:
The /etc/init.d/clamd and /etc/clamd.conf files should contain the same paths for the socket and config files.

Additional info:
This problem probably does not cause any 'fault' as seen by the user. The socket is only removed when clamav is stopped. The sock path from the /etc/clamd.conf file will remain, but will probably just be reused whenever clamd is restarted. So no error seen (although I haven't tested that).

Comment 4 John Horne 2013-10-09 10:20:59 UTC
This bug report should have included discrepancies with the PID file location as well. My fault, sorry.

The /etc/init.d/clamd file has the comment:
# pidfile: /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid

which is correct according to the /etc/clamd.conf config file.

But in /etc/init.d/clamd the 'stop' section has the following command:
rm -f /var/run/clamav/clamav.pid


So in /etc/init.d/clamd the PID file comment is correct, but the actual 'rm' command is not.

clamav-0.98-1.el6 has been pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 6 Robert Scheck 2013-10-19 11:57:17 UTC
John, this issue will be really fixed with the next build of clamav. I would
like to avoid another build which would delay EPEL 5 clamav update unnecessary.
