Don't forget to make the same change to /var/log/clamav or wherever your logs go, and also to /etc/logrotate.d/clamd and freshclam.... One side-effect I have seen in the past is where freshclam failed to write (I think just the logfile) and so it would continuously re-download the updates. Since I told it to try 5 times across 3 different sources, and to do this 24 times per day (once per hour) it ended up costing lots of cash (yes, some people still pay per MB)... > > usually runs as the same user that processes email.
