I also run on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE, but I have been running CVS code for
ages now. Interestingly, I have only had very very minor problems, so
I am extremely happy with ClamAV.

Well, that was discussed, but they also gave solutions with the use of
logrotate.

BTW, there are new versions on the website, so go for them. There is an
entry in the Changelog from the CVS checkout I just did a few minutes
ago:

With that, I believe you could do the following in newsyslog.conf:
/var/log/clamav/clamd.log exim:mail 640 7 * @T00 Z /var/run/clamd.pid 1
> Is there something that has to be changed in clamav.conf also?
Yes, the PidFile specification must much the one you specify above.
I run clamd as user exim, in group mail. YMMV.
PS: I use daemontools to monitor clamd, and I use other methods to
rotate my log file, so don't blame me if the above approach makes
your box to go up in flames ;)
