I am littlebit new using Clamav . I have configure clamav-0.88.2 into my Redhat Linux 4 machine . Now i have some question about clamav , plz provide some help : 1) what is the difference between clamd, clamscan and clamdscan . What is their activities ? 2)when i run clamdscan then it shows the following Error : connect(): Connection refused ERROR: Can't connect to clamd. I don't undestand what is the problem ? 3) In "clamd.conf" and "freshclam.conf" i use the following database Directory : "DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav" and also run : "chmod 755 DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav" And then when i run "clamd" then shows : "ERROR: Database initialization error." what is the problem ? Which information this database holds ? 4 ) when i run "tail -f /var/log/clamav/clamd.log" then it shows : "WARNING: Socket file /usr/share/clamav/socket exists. Unclean shutdown? Removing... ERROR: Socket file /usr/share/clamav/socket could not be removed: Permission denied " i don't understand the problem ? Plz plz give me some solution ....... |
(1) clamd/clamdscan are the server/client pair. clamd is the virus-scanning daemon, and clamdscan is the client by which one contacts the daemon to scan files (e.g. "clamdscan filename"). clamscan is the command-line version, so you would use either the pair clamd/clamdscan or clamscan.
(2)-(4) Some suggestions: - Make sure /var/lib/clamav is owned by the user specified by the "DatabaseOwner" variable in freshclam.conf. - Make sure that the user specified by the "User" variable in clamd.conf has permission to create files in the directory containing the socket specified by the "LocalSocket" variable in clamd.conf. - run "freshclam" to update the database |
