The socket that you need to connect to is the clamav-milter help prog socket, not the main clamd socket. /tmp/clamd is more than likely the clamd daemon socket. You cannot use the sendmail milter filters without using the clamav-milter helper program. It's possible that you will need to get ahold of a none slackware package and install manually. There should be a helper programs directory that comes with either the clamav packaged binaries, or there should be support in the cvs to build them.
The reason for the errors that you are recieving about unsafe socket, is that sendmail is quite picky about it's security. I'd suggest specifying a directory other than /tmp for the clamd sockets (when you get the milter helper program working). -Mikel Bauer- On Fri, 8 Oct 2004 10:06:39 -0500 (CDT), Ken Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Pete, > > First: > > http://www.clamav.net/snapshot/clamav-devel-latest.tar.gz > > This is where you can get the nightly CVS snapshot. > as for the error: 451 4.0.0 /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1679: Xclmilter: > local socket name /tmp/clamd unsafe: World writable directory > > it means the permissions on the directory /tmp/clamd allow anyone write > permissions. > > Here are the permissions on my box: > /var/run: drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Oct 5 13:17 run > /var/run/clamd: drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 4096 Oct 5 08:02 clamd > > Note the clamd directory is owned by the user that all my clamav products > run as and only that user has write permission in that directory. > > - Ken > > > > > On Fri, 8 Oct 2004 09:06:40 -0500 (CDT), you wrote: > > > >>Pete, > >> > >>In order to work with sendmail, you will seen to rebuild your sendmail.cf > >>file.
