 Well, duh.  The clamd daemon has that file open, so clamav-milter can't
 open it.  Can someone tell me how to tell the milter not to try to open
 that file?  
 
 On my Gentoo boxen, it spits out the warning and then successfully
 starts up:


 man clamav-milter: 

  -c FILE, --config-file=FILE
  By default clamav-milter uses a default configuration file,
  this option allows you to specify another one.


 Worthwhile reading the manpage, might one suggest.

Huh? Since when has one program having a file open prevented another
program from opening it (locking notwithstanding)?

Thank you for the sarcas^W kind words.  Can you hazard a guess as to why
that works on the Gentoo box using the same config settings?

/me raises hand

[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# chown clamav:clamav /var/log/clamav/clamav.log

I had discounted the earlier thread because I don't use /dev/console for
logging.  But the fix was the same.

 That was just dry, not sarcastic :) Version difference, possibly?
