[clamav-users] ClamAV on RHEL 6.8 (IBM Power 8 -PPC64)

[Kishore Pawar]

Hi Reindl Harald

Thanks for the reply. Yes, its pretty clear from your config info about how
to set the permissions for the socket. But it still gets the 'root' in the
group even after setting up with the configuration you suggested. I don't
know if that's how the clam-milter socket permission should be. By looking
at the process I see that the 'clamd' is started. If I try to run clamd
again, it says the socket is in use by another program and I think that is
because the clamd instance is already running. When I kill all the
processes and restart clamd, then it wont complain with the 'socket in use'
message. So I think the clamav setup is good. But there's no way for me to
confirm this as I don't know how to pass the commands like
PING,VERSION,SHUTDOWN etc. to the clamd that is mentioned in the clamav
documentation. So my question is how to make sure if the clamav is setup
correctly or not? If I do 'clamscan <file/directory>', it scans it
properly. But when I do 'clamdscan <file/directories>', It says permission
denied:(.

Thanks
