clamav-milter

I have a Clamav-milter problem. Can anyone help?

Problem: clamav-milter loads and immediately terminates

Hardware: Computer processor is AMD, sata raid 1

software: NetBSD 4.0 (I386 platform)
NetBSD mail 4.0 NetBSD 4.0 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Dec 16 00:20:10 PST 2007
builds [at] wb3:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-4-0-RELEASE/i386/200712160005Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-4-0-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386

Clamd and freshclam are both working
clamscan and clamdscan both work

Only the milter is failing

compile parameters:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/pkg/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pkg/lib
CFLAGS="-liconv"
export CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS
./configure --prefix=/usr/pkg --enable-milter --disable-pthreads CC=/usr/bin/gcc
make
make install

compiles without errors
I have also tried this without the "--disable-pthreads" with the same result.

# gcc -v

You gave lots of good build information, but didn't say how you were
calling the milter itself. To give you something to compare to, here's
how I call it on mine:

# ps aux | grep clamav-milter | grep -v grep

clamav 686 0.0 0.2 49760 1112 ? Ssl Apr13 0:27 clamav-milter --config-file=/etc/clamd.conf --max-children=20 --force-scan --quiet --external -ol local:/var/lib/clamav/clamav-milter.socket

One really important thing is that the directory where it should write
the socket must be writable by the user you're telling it to run as. If
I had to lay money down, I would say that's what is wrong in your case.

my startup command is:
mail# /usr/pkg/sbin/clamav-milter --external --max-children=10 \
--pidfile=/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.pid \
--quarantine-dir=/var/run/clamav/quarantine local:/var/lib/clamav/clamav.sock

mail# ps -ax | grep clam
636 ? IWs 0:00.01 /usr/pkg/bin/freshclam -d -c2
671 ? IWsa 0:03.88 /usr/pkg/sbin/spamass-milter -u clamav -p /var/run/spamass.sock -f
19645 ? Ssa 0:04.46 /usr/pkg/sbin/clamd

the clamav.sock file is created but the clamav-milter has terminated.

I am calling it from sendmail - also calling spamass-milter which is working

from clamd.log:
Thu Apr 17 14:44:03 2008 -> Starting ClamAV version 0.93, clamav-milter version 0.93
_res is not supported for multi-threaded programs.

What does the "_res is not supported" mean?

That's why the process exits. Multi-thread programs such as milters
should not access _res like that if you have BIND9 libs.

Are you using the version in pkgsrc? it contains the required patch.

no, I downloaded and compiled from source which I have done since v 0.85
pkgsrc is version 92.1 which I will use for now.

Thank you!
