 HowTo use clamd scanner on Debian Etch
Solution Note: At the time of this writing, the current of ClamAV provided by Debian Etch is: 0.90.1 and a strange bug is affecting clamd startup (taking minutes to get it running):
http://groups.google.com/group/mailing.unix.amavis-user/browse_thread/thread/f5315569c01561e3/b95c42b76ccf56d5

We'll use "apt-get" to install required packages:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install daemon clamav clamav-base clamav-docs clamav-testfiles clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam

Edit /etc/clamav/clamd.conf:

- add
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1
TCPSocket 3310

- change
User root
MaxThreads 30

- make the following symlinks
ln -sf /etc/clamav/clamd.conf /etc/clamd.conf
ln -sf /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf /etc/freshclam.conf

- restart clamav-daemon
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart


In /usr/local/MPP/mppd.conf.xml, add "clamd" or change from "clamav" in "scan_engines" line for "default" group and/or others groups (the same operation can be done with MPP GUI from Configure->Scanners (with the right group Policy selected).
