platform: solaris 5.9, sendmail 8.13.something, gcc 3.4.3,
4-cpu sun 450 (300 MHz CPUs; it's kinda old).
clamav seems to have built and installed without issue;
nice job.
i have some random thoughts and observations and a question:
- i have not yet enabled experimental code; i'm going to let it
run for a while first.
- the Makefile seems to no longer install the man pages. if this is
deliberate, perhaps the banner at the top of clamd.conf:
## Example config file for the Clam AV daemon
## Please read the clamd.conf(5) manual before editing this file.
should be changed. :-)
- my simpleminded startup script contains code that looks like
this:
if [ -f /export/home/clamav/sbin/clamd -a -f
/export/home/clamav/etc/clamd.conf ] ; then
echo "clamd starting."
/export/home/clamav/sbin/clamd >/dev/console 2>&1
fi
if [ -f /export/home/clamav/sbin/clamav-milter ] ; then
echo "clamav-milter starting."
/export/home/clamav/sbin/clamav-milter -PHl --postmaster=root
-m 64 --external /var/clamav/clmilter.sock >/dev/console 2>&1
fi
(the clamd socket is also in /var/clamav) this has worked for, well,
a long time. post upgrade to 0.90, i get the following error from
the startup of clamav-milter:
/var/clamav/clamd.sock: No such file or directory
Can't talk to clamd server via /var/clamav/clamd.sock
Check your entry for LocalSocket in /export/home/clamav/etc/clamd.conf
it's true; if i start clamd and then check, the clamd socket isn't
there. but if i leave clamd alone for a few seconds the socket
appears and clamav-milter starts happily after that. i've tucked
a "sleep 30" into the startup script and things seem happy. is
there anything obvious i'm missing?
- the CPU footprint seems a little higher, so i'm wondering if i'm
doing the most load-efficient thing. i'm starting clamav-milter
with the --external flag. is it in any way better to skip
this? what have folks found to give the best performance?
