Edwin,
thanks very much for your quick response.
I did the strace you suggested,
There are quite a few open commands shown:
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/local/lib/libclamav.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/tls/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/tls/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libdl.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/libz.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/lib/libbz2.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/tls/libm.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/local/etc/clamd.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/local/lib/libclamunrar_iface.so.6.1.3", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/local/lib/libclamunrar.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/local/share/clamav",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 3
open("/usr/local/share/clamav/daily.cld", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/usr/local/share/clamav/daily.cld", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/usr/local/share/clamav/main.cvd", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/usr/local/share/clamav/bytecode.cvd", O_RDONLY) = 4
and at the end there is the following:
umask(022) = 0777
chmod("/tmp/clamd.socket", 0666) = 0
open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY) = 4
open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY) = 5

close(4) = 0
close(5) = 0
close(6) = 0
clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0x40291028) = -1 ENOMEM (
write(2, "ERROR: daemonize() failed\n", 26) = 26
close(3) = 0
unlink("/tmp/clamd.socket") = 0
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0666, st_rdev=makedev(1, 3), ...}) = 0
ioctl(1, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfada9b4) = -1 ENOTTY
(Inappropriate ioctl for device)
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0x4001b000
write(1, "Socket file removed.\n", 21) = 21
brk(0x9c3a000) = 0x9c3a000
brk(0x9bfb000) = 0x9bfb000
munmap(0x40aa7000, 135168) = 0
munmap(0x48249000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x48209000, 192512) = 0
munmap(0x481c9000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x48189000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x48149000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x48109000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x480c9000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x48089000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x48049000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x48009000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x47fc9000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x47f89000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x47f49000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x47f09000, 262144) = 0
munmap(0x47ec9000, 262144) = 0
(followed by another heap of munmap lines )
================
Is here anything visible regarding my problem?
Thanks
Mike
