Thanks for the link, JG.
I didn't realize running clamdscan as root would cause problems. I did
that in all my tests to try to alleviate any permissions issues. I'll
make sure I run all my tests as a regular user from now on.
In the first test, clamdscan works on my machine as well. When I make
the file in /tmp 640, however, I receive a different error message:
----------------------------------
/tmp/eicar.com.txt: Access denied. ERROR
----------------------------------
This is different from the lstat() error I receive in every other case.
/tmp/ appears to be a special case. I need to scan other directories...
Also, when I tried adding clamav to my user's group, it appeared to
work, but I got more errors when restarting the daemon followed by the
same "Access denied" error:
----------------------------------
awensley@uhs:/tmp$ service clamav-daemon restart
