I don't know what man page you're looking at, but the one I'm looking at doesn't use that expression anywhere, and indeed it does tell you about clamd.conf. You are correct. I must have been looking at an outdated one. You do need to learn how to use man pages. Agreed, they tend to brevity. Even terseness. Absolutely.

They are man pages too. (All man pages follow pretty much the same format, the standard has been fairly well developed over the past 35 years... :) In general man pages have the information that you need, but you have to read carefully. Some man pages are better than others of course, but the ClamAV pages are pretty good. At the bottom of the clamd man page you'll see that the first item in the 'see also' list is clamd.conf(5). In the clamav-milter page it's (coincidentally) the 5th item in the list. The '5' in parentheses after clamd.conf tells you what section of the manual the man page is stored. You can omit it under certain (most) circumstances but you can type man 5 clamd.conf to make sure you have the right page. Look at the title at the top of the man page, you'll see the section number there, too. Try typing man man for more information about man. Learn about it.

Hi Blues, I need your help with clamav-milter configuration.

How do I make it work this way? Couldn't figure out in docs. Right now there are 2 services -- clamav-milter clamd -- on. If I turn clamd off, I get an error from freshclam regarding it. The whole purpose of disabling clamd is: a) save some resources, b) less services in the system, i.e. less possible troubles. :) Best, -- Arthur Sherman +972-52-4878851 CPTeam ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
RE: [Clamav-users] clamav-milter installation
Thanks Evan. I completely missed that option when first installing. Late night and all ... I have done just as you state, and ClamAV went in just fine. I did have some trouble with the milter though, when I restarted Sendmail. To mine inexperienced eyes, it looked like some kind of syntax error, something about it expecting a '=' in one of the milter lines in the sendmail.cf. Also, it (sendmail) didn't seem to know what a 'clmilter' or, when I substitued that for 'clamav', was. Sorry, don't have the exact error message to hand now. These errors were more than likely caused by something else I'd forgotten to do, or didn't realise I needed to. However, being very eager (read 'impatient') by now to get ClamAV actually scanning something, I looked through the Third Party Software list for an alternative approach, and tried ClamAssassin. It worked like a charm. So the milter option is on the back-burner so to speak for the time being.

I've since realised that I might need 'clamav-milter' to get sendmail to 'converse' with clamAV. The trouble is, the package I've installed didn't have clamav-milter with it. At least, as far as I can see. I have two main questions if I may : 1) Without this 'clamav-milter', the running clamd process won't touch any email at all will it ? 2) If the above is correct, should I just remove this package and build it normally, including any clamav-milter options that may be present ? When I originally installed it, I simply used : # installpkg clamav-0.80rc3-i686-1jto.tgz I have followed links to other pages, like the following : http://bilbos-stekkie.com/clamav/, It looks helpful, but the packages there have an older version of Sendmail than I have.

Re: [Clamav-users] clamav-milter installation
Pete, In order to work with sendmail, you will seen to rebuild your sendmail.cf file. Also, in addition to having sendmail compiled with milter support, you will need the lib files for the sendmail milter. You can get these by getting the 13.1 code and building / installing juse the milter from the source. As for the cf file, you need to add (and correct) the following line to your sendmail.mc file. INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter', `S=local:/var/run/clamd/clmilter.sock, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m') You will need to change the location of the sock file to match your system. I would just grab the source clamav from the nightly cvs and go from there. Good luck - Ken Hello all, I have Sendmail 8-13-1 running on Slackware 10.

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.

Re: [Clamav-users] clamav-milter installation
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.
