Hi all, Thanks for your tips so far.
If you type "echo $PATH" you will see that the search path is not the same for you as an ordinary user and you as super user.
I typed echo $path and got a blank.
Find the freshclam binary by using "locate freshclam" or this:
# rpm -qa | grep clam
clamav-0.75.1-1mdk
# rpm -ql clamav-0.75.1-1mdk | grep freshclam
/usr/bin/freshclam
I did not install a rpm-so the above will not find freshclam. However, I have found that the executable is /usr/local/bin/freshclam. I opened a console as su, and typed freshclam and it updated ok.
But why cant I use freshclam as su without bash reporting that it cant find the command? Has it something to do with ldconfig?
all the best
david
