Bug 44312 – clamd init script incorrectly tests for socket existance

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2004-03-10 19:30:05 UTC]

start() {
        if [ "${START_CLAMD}" = "yes" ]; then
                if [ -f "/tmp/clamd" ]; then
                        rm -f /tmp/clamd
                fi

... should be ...

start() {
        if [ "${START_CLAMD}" = "yes" ]; then
                if [ -S "/tmp/clamd" ]; then
                        rm -f /tmp/clamd
                fi

-f returns false if the item is a socket (which /tmp/clamd is).  You want to use -S

Patch to fix the bug

This patch fixes the bug. It checks for the existance of /tmp/clamd, without
the requirement that it's a regular file.

This has been fixed although I think it has problems see bug #56805
