/etc/clamav.conf does not exist after install

I installed clamav on my Fedora Core 6 box and I don't have /etc/clamav.conf.

Also, /etc/init.d/clamd does not exist either. What am I missing?

The ClamAV daemon package: "clamd" and AFAIK /etc/clamav.conf is replaced by /etc/clamd.conf.

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

ERROR: Can't get information about user <USER>.

## 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

# using archive bombs.

# 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

# times it will be marked as a virus (Oversized.ArchiveType, e.g. Oversized.Zip)

# Value of 0 disables the limit.

# Use slower but memory efficient decompression algorithm.

# only affects the bzip2 decompressor.

#ArchiveBlockEncrypted



# Mark archives as viruses (e.g. RAR.ExceededFileSize, Zip.ExceededFilesLimit)

# if ArchiveMaxFiles, ArchiveMaxFileSize, or ArchiveMaxRecursion limit is

# reached.

"clamd" now works, but I don't see it in chkconfig. How can I configure clamd to start at boot?

"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.

I would love to do that, but I don't have a clamd to add to 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.
