Re: [Clamav-users] 0.96.1: Error: daemonize() fail
Sorry for my last scrambled postings. In the meantime I have done a fresh install from source. But the problem has not gone.

Re: [Clamav-users] 0.96.1: Error: daemonize() fail
I have found Foreground Yes in the conf but I dont know what you mean by background clamd. I dpn't have a special OpenSUSE init script, I installed clam from source. As such, I don't have an init script except for the one which is in the build directory, and which I am not supposed to move. Thus, I have to start the clamd binary directly.

Try 'strace /usr/sbin/clamd 2log'. Then see what fails (well its either
open(), dup2(), or fork()), and paste the relevant lines here.
Or just paste the last 50 or so lines of output from strace.

Re: [Clamav-users] 0.96.1: Error: daemonize() fail
Edwin, If you are right then I am at a dead end, because this is a virtual server, and to my knowledge I have no chance of setting up a swap file. All the memory allocation is handled by the host. I wouldn't have thought memory a problem because there is so much free left (cf. my first post). :( Mike close(6)= 0 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x40291028) = -1 ENOMEM ( The kernel thinks you don't have enough memory. Maybe because your swap is zero, and it needs some swap to back up the fork()?

Re: [Clamav-users] 0.96.1: Error: daemonize() fail
Yes it really seems like a memory problem. When I start clamd only with the daily.cvd it starts without a problem, but adding the main.cvd brings back the error. As I definitely do not have a chance of setting up a swap file (the swapon returning operation not permitted) I can only hope that the clamAV engine will somehow sometime be rebuilt.
