Try starting the processes manually instead of using the rc scripts, and see if they exit with an error of some sort. Also, I seem to remember having difficult with permissions under some circumstances, where the processes couldn't write to directories they needed -- check that both clamd and freshclam are running as the same user/group. See if you're getting core files anywhere (check /var/log/messages for coredump messages). Audit your config files and make sure nothing is out of sorts. Sorry I can't give you any more specific information, but I've not seen the problem you're having. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
