I just upgraded my clamav RPMs from 0.70rc to 0.70 (from
http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/1/clamav/)

Since i am running qmail with qmail-scanner, i run clamav as user qscand and
have to change /var/run/clamav, /var/log/clamav and /var/lib/clamav to be
owned by qscand.  While upgrading to 0.70 i noticed that all three of these
directories have changed back to clamav.clamav.   Would it be possible to
NOT change ownership back to clamav during an upgrade?

Its not that big of a deal, just sorta annoying.



Hello Jim,


thanks for feedback.

RPM has ability to enforce file/directory permissions and owners. This is usualy
used for security reason on critical directories/files as a protection against
inexperienced admins.


But your request is valid.

I will try to change package behaviour to
- first instance of package on system will install these directories with clamav user
- all next pieces will respect the actual setting, so if you changed owner, your
setting will be untouched.


Does it meet your needing?
