no clamd daemon - PLEASE HELP
I've installed via yum clamav on fc5 and I got everything besides clamd. I have clamd manual but no daemon. I have clamd in /usr/sbin but when I try to run it from there - instead of "service clamd start" - it tells me clamd.conf does not exist. when I run "service clamd start" it says clamd not recongnized...
please help...

Great software! Easy to use. A daemon, some command line tools, two configuration files. Excellent documentation (incl. man pages).
The classic UNIX way: small and beautiful.
And it works and is really fast. :)
