 The main point of my point, (I know that sounds weird), is that an admin
who relies upon any piece of software to correctly create and set
permissions on the logfile is asking for trouble. Clam is not alone in
this. This is not a bug in Clam, it is poor admin technique on the part of
the admin. Your logs are vital for a smoothly running system. The admin
should take full control of their logs.
