I cannot install clamd
I am using Fedora 28. I get an error that says "cannot open/parse the config file at etc/clamd.conf"
I would like to add a new configuration file, but I do not have permissions and do not know how to get around those.
It is very difficult for me to understand why Fedora has not made it easy to install security features. Come on guys. There is no excuse for this.
Chkrootkit, ClamAV, etc., should all be right there and available.
Can someone please tell me how I can get Clamd to work on Fedora 28? Thank you.
Thank you for your response. I installed clamav via yum. Clamav is working, but clamd is not present because the configuration file is missing. In the place of a working configuration file is one called scan.clam at /etc/clamd.d/scan.clam.
I want to put a good configuration file into its proper place, but I cannot do that because of permission restrictions.
You can copy the /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf to /etc/clamd.conf and modify it so it works with the configuration you want, you have to use sudo to do so and also edit it with sudo vim /etc/clamd.conf
@aeperezt Do you mind to give me a set of commands to use in the terminal, step by step? Thanks!
Here you go
Then edit with sudo or as root /etc/clamd.conf and remove comment out example and set you configuration as you normally do
Thanks again!
