Pretty much the same story here. Although it has only crashed once so far. I wrote a script to check every few minutes if clam is running and to restart it if not.

Hi Mike,

Could you keep an eye on this and see if you can see if it's caused shortly after a database reload... or just randomly?

I've asked the ClamAV team for help in suggesting things to look for/try in order to diagnose the problem.

Cheers,

Steve,

On many servers it crashes just after this log entry:
Jan 26 13:04:40 smtpi5 freshclam[20165]: Clamd successfully notified about the update.

This has nothing to do with new Sanesecurity files! Looks like on some occasions freshclam screws things up for clamd...

Running on RHEL 5.3 servers with clamd-0.94.2-1.el5.rf.

Denis
