If you have a reproducible test case that makes the reconfigure fail, please pass it over to me - I'd like those scripts to be robust.
That being said, running clamd as root is fairly ill-advised in most circumstances, so I'd recommend against it unless you have a particularly compelling reason. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Madison's Inquiry: If you have to | | steve@lobefin.net | travel on the Titanic, why not go first | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | class? | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
