Re: [Clamav-users] Error with clamav-milter
Hi there, I'm trying to get the clamav-milter to work with sendmail. I've made all the required changes to the sendmail.cf file, but when I try to restart sendmail, I get the error: sendmail: WARNING: Xclmilter'': local socket name /var/clamav/clmilter.sock' missing. I've verified, and the clmilter.sock file is indeed in the /var/clamav/clmilter.sock directory (srwxr-xr-x1 root root 0 Mar 3 16:51 clmilter.sock). Here is some info about the system: Redhat 8.0 Kernel 2.4.18 Sendmail 8.12.5-7 (though when connecting via telnet, the version is 8.12.8/8.12.5) ClamAV version 0.67-1 I've compiled ClamAV with the --enable-milter option, and it works fine. clamd starts up fine as well, and all tests seem to go through. One thing I noticed is that when I execute /usr/sbin/clamav-milter -blo /var/clamav/clmilter.sock, I get a warning: /usr/sbin/clamav-milter: running as root is not recommended. However, I can see via ps that it is running. Is there something I missed? Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Clamav-users] Error with clamav-milter
I don't think it needs write access to the socket file itself, but it does need read+exec privs to the directory containing the socket at least afaik.
