It was a parse error in the installed file not an open error. cat /etc/clamd.avisd.conf # Use system logger. #LogSyslog # Specify the type of syslog messages - please refer to 'man syslog' # for facility names. LogFacility LOG_MAIL # This option allows you to save a process identifier of the listening # daemon (main thread). PidFile /var/run/amavisd/clamd.pid # Remove stale socket after unclean shutdown. # Default: disabled #FixStaleSocket # Run as a selected user (clamd must be started by root). User amavis # Path to a local socket file the daemon will listen on. LocalSocket /var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock When I commented out LogSyslog and FixStaleSocket it started ok.
