Hi,

I installed clamav on Debian Woody with Qmail-Scanner. I used the debian 
package from  deb http://people.debian.org/~sgran/debian

So far so good, but since qmail-scanner runs as user qscand and clamd runs as 
clamd, clam can not write files in the working dir (something like /var/
spool/qmailscan.)

I found a link that suggested changing the 'user' in clamav.conf to qscand.

Here's that link:
http://www.tnpi.biz/support/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=136

And I just found another link:

msg04707.html

When I followed the advice in the first link, it started to be able to write 
to /var/spool/qmailscan, but I had to change the pid file too:

in clamav.conf:

LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/qscand/clamd.ctl
FixStaleSocket
User qscand

and in /var/run:

drwxr-xr-x    3 clamav   clamav       4096 Jun 14 04:41 clamav/

and in /var/run/clamav:

-rw-rw----    1 clamav   clamav          4 Jun 14 04:41 freshclam.pid
drwxr-xr-x    2 qscand   root         4096 Jun 14 15:24 qscand

(of course the subdirectoryname 'qscand' is arbitrary).

However, after a couple of days running, I am getting this in /var/log/clamav:

-rw-r-----    1 qscand   adm             0 Jun 20 20:25 clamav.log
-rw-r-----    1 qscand   adm       2619368 Jun 25 14:43 clamav.log.1
-rw-r-----    1 clamav   adm        128026 Jun 14 04:36 clamav.log.2.gz

Now, the last one (2.gz) might still be owned by clamav becuase of the 
original setup; however, the .0 ad .1 are properly owned by qscand. But as 
the roation happens, youc an clearly see that the newly created file is not 
being used, instead everything is appended to .1

Any help would be appreciated.
