Hello Krištof,

Shouldn't the conf files be in /usr/local/etc/ ??? That's how it works for me and my log file is owned by clamav



That is dependant upon who built the binaries and the choices they made
when doing so. If this were standardized there would be fewer instances of
multiple versions of libs, executables, and config files installed on
systems. As a minimum, packagers should describe in their docs where
things go. My guess is most noobies would still not read it, but those who
try to debug the mess they have would have another tool to work with.


Agreed. Interestingly, it made me look at my setup again and, because I run Mimedefang, I have "User defang" in my clamd.conf clamav belongs to group defang and the log file permissions are 0660 clamav.clamav yet it still works on every clamav version including 0.85 and 0.85.1
My brain hurts.


The lesson to learn is: know your system and don't trust packagers.

I build clamav from source using default configure (even though I'm running Fedora 3.)
