I now have an /etc/clamd.conf file, but now I get the following error when I run "clamd" as root:

## Executable files
##
# PE stands for Portable Executable - it's an executable file format used
# in all 32-bit versions of Windows operating systems. This option allows
# ClamAV to perform a deeper analysis of executable files and it's also
# required for decompression of popular executable packers such as UPX, FSG,
# and Petite.
# Default: enabled
#ScanPE
# With this option clamav will try to detect broken executables and mark
# them as Broken.Executable
# Default: disabled
#DetectBrokenExecutables

##
# This option enables scanning of Microsoft Office document macros.
# Default: enabled
#ScanOLE2
##
## Mail files
##
# Enable internal e-mail scanner.

## Archives
##
# ClamAV can scan within archives and compressed files.
# Default: enabled
#ScanArchive
# Due to license issues libclamav does not support RAR 3.0 archives (only the
# old 2.0 format is supported). Because some users report stability problems
# with unrarlib it's disabled by default and you must uncomment the directive
# below to enable RAR 2.0 support.
# Default: disabled
#ScanRAR
# The options below protect your system against Denial of Service attacks
# using archive bombs.
# Files in archives larger than this limit won't be scanned.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Default: 10M
#ArchiveMaxFileSize 15M
# Nested archives are scanned recursively, e.g. if a Zip archive contains a RAR
# file, all files within it will also be scanned. This options specifies how
# deep the process should be continued.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Default: 8
#ArchiveMaxRecursion 9
# Number of files to be scanned within an archive.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Default: 1000
#ArchiveMaxFiles 1500
# If a file in an archive is compressed more than ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio
# times it will be marked as a virus (Oversized.ArchiveType, e.g. Oversized.Zip)
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Default: 250
#ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio 300
# Use slower but memory efficient decompression algorithm.
# only affects the bzip2 decompressor.
# Default: disabled
#ArchiveLimitMemoryUsage
# Mark encrypted archives as viruses (Encrypted.Zip, Encrypted.RAR).
# Default: disabled
#ArchiveBlockEncrypted
# Mark archives as viruses (e.g. RAR.ExceededFileSize, Zip.ExceededFilesLimit)
# if ArchiveMaxFiles, ArchiveMaxFileSize, or ArchiveMaxRecursion limit is
# reached.
# Default: disabled
#ArchiveBlockMax

## Clamuko settings
## WARNING: This is experimental software. It is very likely it will hang
## up your system!!!
##
# Enable Clamuko. Dazuko (/dev/dazuko) must be configured and running.
# Default: disabled
#ClamukoScanOnAccess
# Set access mask for Clamuko.
# Default: disabled
#ClamukoScanOnOpen
#ClamukoScanOnClose
#ClamukoScanOnExec
# Set the include paths (all files in them will be scanned). You can have
# multiple ClamukoIncludePath directives but each directory must be added
# in a seperate line.
# Default: disabled
#ClamukoIncludePath /home
#ClamukoIncludePath /students
# Set the exclude paths. All subdirectories are also excluded.
# Default: disabled
#ClamukoExcludePath /home/guru
# Don't scan files larger than ClamukoMaxFileSize
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# Default: 5M
#ClamukoMaxFileSize 10M
"man chkconfig" says "chkconfig servicename --level levels start", so "chkconfig clamd --level 345 start" would run it in the default network-enabled and multiuser runlevels.
- Where did your Clamd RPM come from and what's the fullname ("rpm -q clamd")?
- Did you see any errors while installing the RPM?
- Type "rpm -q clamd --scripts | grep chkconfig": does it show one or two lines with 'chkconfig' in it?
- Type "grep chkconfig: /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd": does it show one 'chkconfig' line?
If not this should be fixed so add a bug report in FC's tracker. Now, to fix this locally:
- open up the file in your favorite editor and
- add a line "# chkconfig: 2345 61 39" below the shebang line (that's the "#!/bin/sh" one),
- save, close file,
- type "chkconfig --add clamd".
To test this works type "chkconfig --list clamd".
I tryed your suggestions and none of them made clamd appear in chkconfig. I'm going to file a bug and post it's number along with any other relavent info that I find. Thx 4 the help.
Edit: Bugzilla Bug 223906 if anyone is interested.
