Hmmm, something is very strange here because with no changes made to any config or permissions modified, I am now able to run 'freshclam' with out any errors as I was having in my 1st example. All I simply did was 'restart' the daemon running 'freshclam':
mail:/etc# /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam restart Stopping ClamAV virus database updater: freshclam. Starting ClamAV virus database updater: freshclam. mail:/etc# freshclam ClamAV update process started at Mon Sep 22 13:13:42 2008 main.cld is up to date (version: 48, sigs: 399264, f-level: 35, builder: sven) daily.cld is up to date (version: 8308, sigs: 33402, f-level: 35, builder: arnaud) What do you guys thing? Is my system still configured incorrectly? I know its working now but chances are I will have this problem all over again shortly and I don't know the cause of this. If it was incorrect configuration, I would like to resolve this and understand it. Any help is greatly appreciated. If I need to post anything else to help better understand what is going on. Thanks all! _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
