I've updated 2 of my servers to use the latest FreeBSD port of clamav 0.60_4. Clamscan works fine. However fresclam fails with permission denied errors and clamdscan doesn't see to work at all. The FreeBSD port uses the user "clamav". I changed this to use "vscan" to work better with Spamassassin.
Here's a cut-n-paste.
I'm wondering what other people are doing with clamd on FreeBSD 4.9.
