Maybe of more usefulness...
This works here (FreeBSD 4.X, 6.X:
clamd is run with an euid:egid in the same 'group' as Exim, and with a socket
that has r/w privs to group members...
~/clamd.conf has:
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/.s.CLAMD.7002
~/exim/configure has:
av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/.s.CLAMD.7002
~/etc/rc.conf and ~/etc/rc.d/~ start clamd before exim starts, so as to avoid
errors in ~/exim/paniclog should the clamd not yet be available.
The result is creation of a socket: /var/run/clamav/.s.CLAMD.7002=
The directory and socket ID will almost certainly differ for your Linux
environment, but any way you cut it, ~/exim/configure and ~/clamd.conf (or their
Linux equivalents) must point to the same socket, AND it must have r/w privs for
both.
