It should work as you expected. Using --with-user sets CLAMAVUSER which is also used by freshclam, so the default user should have been set to vscan. In config.log is #define CLAMAVUSER "vscan" set? And in freshclam/Makefile is CLAMAVUSER = vscan set? Can you provide any more info on the version your using, platform your building on etc. Cheers -- Damien ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
