A comment concerning Little Snitch. There's a good chance that the LS notification about a code signature violation. There is a known bug in LS 4 that finds problems in properly signed files. The notification gives you the opportunity to copy some information and forward it to LS for analysis. I submitted one for a different app and received the following response: > Can you please install Little Snitch 4.1.3 Nightly, this should fix this > problem: > https://obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/download-nightly.html > <https://obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/download-nightly.html>
And for what it's worth, I have not experienced any such issue when running freshclam (fingers crossed). I have second hand information that a patch is undergoing tests as we speak, but no clue as to when it might show up. -Al- On Wed, Sep 05, 2018 at 10:05 PM, Michael Newman wrote: >> As previously observed, depending on installation permissions, some of us >> need sudo and others do not. > > Turns out this had nothing to do with permissions and everything to do with > Little Snitch. > > For reasons that remain a mystery to me, sometime while I was away from home > Little Snitch started blocking outgoing traffic from freshclam.
