Just a thought... you said "in my crontab". What users crontab is running the freshclam? If it's in "your" crontab, as in your user, it probably won't work, as your user likely doesn't have write access to the neccessary files. This is what I have on my box (run as root): # crontab -l -u root 0 11,23 * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam --daemon-notify=/usr/local/etc/clamav.conf --quiet -l /var/log/clam-update.log # > /var/log/clam-update.log" in /etc/syslog.conf. It works well enough, but > I would like to know why I can't get freshclam to work with the -l param. -- Josh I. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
