Better to take thermite to the box.
By all means keep away from qmail, but in my experience a *lot* of his other sofware does exactly what it sez on the tin. I've had no problems running clamd -- and a lot of other software -- under the control of daemontools. All you need is a simple run file of the form: #!/bin/sh clamd=/usr/local/sbin/clamd exec $clamd and make sure you set: # Don't fork into background. # Default: disabled #Foreground Foreground in /etc/clamd.conf -- Dennis Davis, BUCS, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +44 1225 386101 -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
