Hi
I have a small mystery on file permissions for the clamav log file.
I am running clamd through mimedefang (user defang) and so in /etc/group I have:
> defang:x:2504:
> clamav:x:2505:clamav,defang
and the log file has:
> -rw-rw---- 1 clamav clamav 35736 Mar  6 15:13 /var/log/clam-update.log
But, I get the following when I start clamd
Starting clamd: Running as user defang (UID 2504, GID 2504)
> ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clam-update.log in append mode (check 
> permissions!).
> ERROR: Problem with internal logger. Please check the permissions on the
/var/log/clam-update.log file.
>                                                            [FAILED]
When I change the permissions on /var/log/clam-update.log to 0666 it works OK.
This error has only occurred since I updated from 0.88.7 to 0.90.1
Any ideas on what I have got wrong? Or is this a new "feature"?
Cheers
Bill
