Check the: /etc/cron.hourly/msec and /etc/cron.daily/msec ...

This is the problem, the script msec, chown all files in /var/log to root
user.

Asunto: [Clamav-users] clam-update log file...


Hi,

I'm runing freshclam daily (or at least I want it to do that):

# touch /var/log/clam-update.log
# chmod 600 /var/log/clam-update.log
# chown clamav /var/log/clam-update.log

I placed a cronjob in crontab to run every morning to update clamav:
0 8 * * * /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -l /var/log/clam-update.log

I noticed that (I don't know why or when, this is what I'm posting this mail
for) the log file changes it's owner to root from clamav:
# ls -al /var/log/clam-update.log
-rw-------    1 root     adm           232 Oct 13 21:45
/var/log/clam-update.log

And of course now freshclam with -l won't work:
# /usr/local/bin/freshclam -l /var/log/clam-update.log
ERROR: LOGGER: Can't open file /var/log/clam-update.log to write.
ERROR: Problem with internal logger.

Changing it back to chown clamav fixes this problem... untill the next time
check on updates and notice that the log file changed it's owner, yet again,
to root:
# chown clamav /var/log/clam-update.log

Any ideas?

I'm using Mandrake9.1 if that should help.

Cheers,
Shai
