CLAMAV DAEMON Start-up

[MoonRise]

Since going to 16.04 I have had issues with the CLAMAV daemon appearing not to start.

Basically for use with Thunderbird using CLAMdrib add-on this daemon is required. I've always in the past on upgrades made the necessary changes and all is well. Not with 16.04. There is a fundamental difference which I can't determine.

From a bug report I found some issues that I was able to put into place but it ALWAYS requires me on reboots/log-ins to run the below. All well in good except they require the root PW so I'm not sure how to script that so it just runs without asking for the root PW.

Anyone else? Help? I'll try to find that bug report again.

Thanks!



systemctl --system daemon-reload
systemctl restart clamav-daemon.socket
systemctl restart clamav-daemon.service

Did you do this part first:

To tell systemd about the TCP socket, you should create a file
/etc/systemd/system/clamav-daemon.socket.d/extend.conf containing the
following two lines:
[Socket]
ListenStream=192.168.101.254:3310

Yes Sir! Sure did.

mmm... since the bug was fixed in Dec of 2014 it looks like a regression has entered in. Have you filed another bug report?

[MoonRise]

Nope! I'll look at doing that.
