I'm trying to setup clamd/amavisd on a new system;
as far as I can tell... I've configured it same as my other system;

BUT, clamd won't start as it can not write the /var/log log;

am I asking for trouble by just chowning the log ?

# service clamd start
Starting Clam AntiVirus Daemon: ERROR: Can't open
/var/log/clamav/clamd.log in append mode (check permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger. Please check the permissions on the
/var/log/clamav/clamd.log file.
                                                           [FAILED]
after I chown log to amavis, it runs

# ls -al /var/log/clamav/clamd*
-rw-r--r--  1 amavis amavis  6573 Oct 19 16:44 /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav 11770 Oct 15 04:02 /var/log/clamav/clamd.log.1
-rw-r--r--  1 clamav clamav   290 Oct  7 04:02 /var/log/clamav/clamd.log.2


BUT, on my old server, log is clamav's and it works;

I've added also clam to amavis and amavis to clam (just to be sure) but it
didn't help:

# grep amavis /etc/group
clamav:x:101:clamav,amavis
amavis:x:102:clamav
