I have searched through the archives and can't find a solution to my
problem.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 and installed clamav through its
Synaptic Package Manager.  It installed version 0.94.2.

When I invoke clamdscan [filename or folder] I get
dpatt...@quarantine:~$ clamdscan po.conf
/home/dpatters/po.conf: Access denied. ERROR

This happens on all directories except /tmp.  My directories are world
readable and executable, as are the files.  The clamd user is clamav.  There
is no AppArmor running (I did a ps  and a ps | grep apparmor with variations
and found nothing.)

Also, another  piece of software I have installed needs  to use clamdscan
does not make use of the pipe  ( clamdscan - < file name   -- this does
work.)

I've also set clamav to listen to tcpsocket 3310 and then telneted there to
execute commands.  I get the same access denied response.   I tried this
because the piece of software I have needs to communicate with clamav by
that port.

In short none of the excellent clues and hints I've found in the mailing
list archives and on the net in general have solved this problem for me.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much.
