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 -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
