The milter dies upon whatever the internal error is. clamd and freshclam both will politly die with a simple kill (-15) sent to them. At that point, if I re-install the release version of .80, I still am unable to start clamav-milter. It just dies immedatly until I reboot the system. All other functionality remains in the system (other than clamav-milter.) My guess is that a shared library is left in memory that has been altered or is otherwise corrupt (just a guess). In the past, I have been able to bring down clam gracefully, and install updated code, and restart without any issues and by no means a reboot ! Nigel Horne beleives he may have tracked down the issue and fixed it in 80q cvs version. I'm waiting to see that in cvs and will report back. - Ken > > > -- > Eric Wheeler > Vice President > National Security Concepts, Inc. > PO Box 3567 > Tualatin, OR 97062 > > http://www.nsci.us/ > Voice: (503) 293-7656 > Fax: (503) 885-0770 > > _______________________________________________ > http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users > -- Ken Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
