Nobody > know`s .. ask the wizard of Debian .. *gg* So far I have not had this problem. I wonder what's going on here. I would think if something unexpected happened that caused this change in behavior that logcheck would have said something. I assume you are running 0.90.1-2 (latest version available from Debian). If running as amavis, don't forget to edit /etc/logrotate.d/clamav-daemon and /etc/logrotate.d/clamav-freshclam otherwise the amavis user may not be able to write to new log files when they are created. Change: create 640 clamav adm to: create 640 amavis adm Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
