I have always built ClamAV from source and installed it under "/opt/clamav-VERSION". This was originally because I didn't want to wipe out a previous working version until I tested the new version. But it turns out to have another advantage as well: I can do *all* the "make" stuff, including the "make install", as non-root. Then, at the last minute, I do a "chmod -R 0.0" of the new installation, followed by a "chmod -R clamuid.clamgid" of the "share/clamav/" subdirectory, followed by setting a symbolic link of "/opt/clamav" to the new version's subdirectory under "/opt". Of course this also requires creating the new "/opt/clamav-VERSION" directory with the proper permissions, changing some of the "make" options to non-standard values, and now, changing an option or two to put the systemd stuff into a different place to avoid tying ClamAV to systemd. (I continue to use cron to trigger updates.) _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
