Thanks for the feedback.

Are you aware of an Ansible ClamAV install and configure role that will work for Centos 6 as most only seem to support Centos 7?

Regards,

Will

CentOS 6 (and RHEL 6, Scientific Linux 6 etc.) don't use systemd
(at least by default).

Also the 2.6.32 kernels don't support the features needed for on-access
scanning (the elrepo kernel-lt packages may work).

More significantly, CentOS 6 support ends on Monday

(RHEL6 was released on 10 Nov 2010, so you have had ten years ...)
