Just a quick question. What are the permissions of /var/virusmails and is it writable by the _clamav user?

Hi Scorpions4ever,


Problem solved as follows;

# chown -R _clamav:_clamav /var/virusmails
No printout


# /usr/local/sbin/amavisd -u _clamav debug

# /usr/local/sbin/amavisd -u _clamav start
No complaint


Now I expect to run both clamav and amavisd-new as _clamav and encountered problem on performing following steps;

$ sudo chown -R _clamav:_clamav /var/db/clamav
No complaint

On clamd.conf, add:

User _clamav

# /usr/local/sbin/clamd restart

Running as user _clamav (UID 539, GID 539)
ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamd.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger. Please check the permissions on the
/var/log/clamd.log file.

# ls -l /var/log | grep clamd.log
# find / -name clamd.log
Both w/o printout

If I create the file /var/log/clamd.log and;
chown _clamav /var/log/clamd.log

the file will grow continuously. I haven't figured out how to run "newsyslog" or "cron" to regulate it.


Any advice? TIA
