To create individual clamd-instance take the following files and
modify/copy them in the suggested way:
clamd.conf:
* set LogFile, PidFile, LocalSocket and User to suitable values
* place this file into /etc/clamd.d with an unique service-name;
e.g. as /etc/clamd.d/<SERVICE>.conf
To make logfile rotation work properly, the LogFile should be
writable for the assigned User. Recommended way to reach this, is
to:
* make it owned by the User's *group*
* assign at least 0620 (u+rw,g+w) permissions
A suitable command might be
| # touch <logfile>
| # chgrp <user> <logfile>
| # chmod 0620 <logfile>
NEVER use 'clamav' as the user since he can modify the database.
This is the user who is running the application; e.g. for mimedefang
(http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang), the user might be
'defang'.Theoretically, distinct users could be used, but it must be
made sure that the application-user can write into the socket-file,
and that the clamd-user can access the files asked by the
application to be checked.
clamd.logrotate:
* set the correct value for the logfile
* place it into /etc/logrotate.d
clamd.sysconfig:
* set the name of the config-file and the local socket
* copy it to /etc/sysconfig/clamd.<SERVICE>
clamd.init:
* set the service-name
* place it into /etc/init.d/ with an unique name and activate it
(e.g. with /sbin/chkconfig clamd.<SERVICE> on)
Additionally, a symlink must be set to clamd in a way like
| # ln -s clamd /usr/sbin/clamd.<SERVICE>
and the directory for the socket file must be created (see 'LocalSocket'
in clamd.conf)
| # mkdir -p /var/run/clamd.<SERVICE>
This directory must be writable by the 'User' chosen in the config-file.

this file and the script/configfiles are not part of the official
clamav package.
