+README.SLACKWARE for clamav
+
+The package contains a start/stop script: /etc/rc.d/rc.clamav.
+I would suggest calling this script from /etc/rc.d/rc.M just
+before Sendmail is started with code like:
+
+# Starting ClamAV daemons
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.clamav ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.clamav start
+fi
+
+The start/stop script will start: clamd, freshclam and clamav-milter.
+
+** ClamAV, Amavisd-new and SpamAssassin **
+You might want to use amavisd-new to act as an intermediary between Sendmail
+and ClamAV (and possible SpamAssassin too). Amavisd-new can be downloaded at
+http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/
+
+For clamd to be able to scan messages, when called by Amavisd-new, you must
+add "clamav" to the "amavis" group (provided that clamd.conf contains the
+"User clamav" directive), e.g. run:
+
+ # usermod -G $(id -Gn clamav | tr ' ' ','),amavis clamav
+
+Be sure to enable "AllowSupplementaryGroups" in clamd.conf and restart clamd.
+Also, to enable Amavisd-new to scan ClamAV's log files and produce nice
+statistics, the reverse must be done too; add user "amavis" to the group
+"clamav" as follows:
+
+ # usermod -G $(id -Gn amavis | tr ' ' ','),clamav amavis
+
+Add the rc.amavisd script to your /etc/rc.d/rc.M script between the start of
+clamav and sendmail, so that the relevant section looks like this:
+
+# Starting ClamAV daemon:
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.clamav ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.clamav start
+fi
+
+# Starting Amavisd daemon:
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.amavisd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.amavisd start
+fi
+
+# Start the sendmail daemon:
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail ]; then
+ . /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail start
+fi
