Looks like my problem was my startup script calling an older version of clamd which lived in /usr/local/bin. Current versions of clamd live in /usr/local/sbin. This version dates back to 0.51. Once I removed that and cleaned up my startup script, all was well.
The FreeBSD port sets up user:group as clamav, doesn't work very well with Amavisd-new/Spamassassin install.
thanks Ken

However fresclam fails with permission denied errors and clamdscan doesn't see to work at all. The FreeBSD port uses the user "clamav". I changed this to use "vscan" to work better with Spamassassin.
Here's a cut-n-paste.
I'm wondering what other people are doing with clamd on FreeBSD 4.9.
smtp1# freshclam Current working dir is /usr/local/share/clamav Checking for a new database - started at Tue Nov 11 15:39:08 2003 Connected to clamav.elektrapro.com.

Does the user you are running freshclam as have write permissions to /usr/local/share/clamav?
Cheers, Rob
