You must have done something wrong when you edited
the file ...lib/perl5/...Net/Server/Daemonize.pm

Try again, find a subroutine set_uid in that file,
remove it entirely, and drop in a replacement:

sub set_uid {
my $uid = get_uid( shift() );
POSIX::setuid( $uid ) or die "Couldn't POSIX::setuid to \"$uid\" [$!]\n";
$> = $uid; $< = $uid; # just in case
return 1;
}


Or, you can still use the 'amavisd -u vscan' approach,
even if you don't update the Daemonize.pm

Mark
