  • Bug#1042377: clamav-daemon: Documenting this behavior

    Package: clamav-daemon
    Version: 1.4.3+dfsg-1
    Followup-For: Bug #1042377

    Hi,

    Thanks for the bug report.

    I'm setting up an antivirus scanning server and I couldn't understand why clamav wasn't listening on the TCP socket.

    I preferred to leave the TCPSocket option in the clamd configuration file to make it more readable and I mask the "clamav-daemon.socket" unit.

    A hint about this behavior in the "/usr/share/doc/clamav-daemon/README.Debian.gz" file would be a plus.

    Regards.
