Hi, I'm trying to have clamAV running with Fedora Core 7(test 4). With FC6 everything went smoothly, but here I got some problems. First I defined a log file in my home directory. When I ran freshclam (console) as me, I got the following message : ]$ freshclam ClamAV update process started at Thu May 10 23:12:28 2007 main.cvd is up to date (version: 43, sigs: 104500, f-level: 14, builder: sven) WARNING: Removing corrupted incremental directory daily.inc LibClamAV Error: Can't remove temporary directory daily.inc: Permission denied ERROR: Can't remove incremental directory LibClamAV Error: Database Directory: /var/lib/clamav not locked
I did some google and found that removing the files.cvd from the /var/lib/clamav directory and running a freshclam should solve the problem. Then I got the following message : ]$ freshclam ClamAV update process started at Thu May 10 23:24:43 2007 ERROR: getfile: Can't create new file ./clamav-244b25ea0c10efe8bc99c14d863de0ad in /var/lib/clamav Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 2000 or GID 2001 ERROR: Can't download main.cvd from database.clamav.net LibClamAV Error: Database Directory: /var/lib/clamav not locked Well I ran it as root and got the following : freshclam ERROR: Can't open /home/me/.freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!). ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /home/totoro/.freshclam.log). I guess that append stands for writable, since I didn't find other permission in my linux books. So I don't understand since I made root and clamav members of the me group and the file with rwx for everybody. any light would be appreciated. I thought also that clamav dropped the privileges to user when run as root.
