[clamav-users] Yum Updater Breaks My Set Up

[Dennis Peterson]

Try this:

clamconf | fold -s | grep "sysconfdir=/"

That will tell you where clam expects to find your clamd.conf file. That might 
not be where you expect it. Also check the service script to see if clamd is 
started with the --config-file=FILE option. It will override your compiled 
sysconfigdir.

There's no shortage of standards for compiling packages from clamav and nobody 
seems to use any of them. Or maybe they use all of them.
