[Mimedefang] Fwd: Re: clamav vs clamd vs clamscan

Thanks to this list I am making progress :)
Now clamd is failing due to this...
Wed Oct  8 16:32:20 2014 -> WARNING: lstat() failed on: 
/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mdefang-s98LWK78002037/Work
...I'm assuming this is because the mimedefang working directory is 
owned by defang and clamd runs as clamav.
I fixed by running clamd as root ... is this the preferred solution or 
is there a better way?

Mixing 3rd party repos generally leads to conflicts.  On a Centos
system with EPEL as the only extra repo it 'just works'.  Either you
already have some conflicting package from a different repo or you
needed something from the base SL.    Also, if you get mimedefang and
clamd from different repos you may end up with a mismatch in
user/group settings that will cause permission problems on the socket
they use to communicate.
