Clam Dumping

[Matthew Carpenter]

Hey all,

I have one machine that just continually crashes ClamAV.  I'm running the 
clamd daemon in conjunction with Amavis and Postfix for mail-filtering.

All I get from amavis is messages that clamd is dead:

May 30 14:18:14 sillybox amavis[26006]: (26006-02) (!!) WARN: all primary 
virus scanners failed, considering backups

May 30 14:18:08 sillybox amavis[26006]: (26006-02) (!) ClamAV-clamd: Can't 
connect to UNIX socket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl: No such file or directory, 
retrying (2)


When I restart clamd, I first have to shut it down, then remove the .dbLock 
file from /var/lib/clamav/ and then start the clamd service again.

This has been rather recurring for a month or so.  I've yet to see this 
behavior on any other system.

Thanks,
Matt
