I'm trying to build clamav to run with amavisd-new.
According to amavisd-new, it is recommended that I run clamav under the same user as amavisd-new (vscan:nogroup).
./configure --with-user=vscan --with-group=nogroup make make install
When I run 'freshclam' I get: ERROR: Can't get information about user clamav.
huh?
How do I get around this?
I'm not sure what's the best way to go about solving this. The amavisd-new is a package install and is probably much harder to change than clamav will be since I'm compiling it. This is why I just figured I would go with vscan:nogroup.
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
I didn't see a CLAMAVUSER variable setting when I compiled it, I set 'User vscan' in /usr/local/etc/clamav.conf instead.
I do see a define CLAMAVUSER setting in the config.log when I compile it like this (with all three flags set : with-user/with-group/disable-clamav)
I also see it defined correctly to 'vscan' when I do not use the disable-clamav.
(i run make clean in between these...)
OK, I think I found something.
My original builds did not work correctly
This one does, but I was sure to run make clean before I started the configure process.
I guess I had some dirty laundry in the process. Seems to be working fine now as 'configure --with-user=vscan --with-group=nogroup'
