Changing the user to vscan means that you would also have to change ownership of a number of directories. You can do that if you like, or you can put the User back to 'clamav' in clamd.conf, and DatabaseOwner back to 'clamav' in freshclam.conf. If you want to keep running as vscan, you need to change ownership of these directories (stop clamd first): chown -R vscan:vscan /var/log/clamav/ chown -R vscan:vscan /var/run/clamav/ chown -R vscan:vscan /var/db/clamav If you do not, then set your User back to clamav: In clamd.conf, set: User clamav and in freshclam.conf DatabaseOwner clamav then stop and start clamd and amavisd-new. Just make sure these three directories are owned by the user you have listed in clamd.conf and freshclam.conf. I recommend using the default of 'clamav'. It make upgrades easier.
