Everyone, I have a work around to this problem. Very much a klug but it works.
I posted some problems I have been having with two RH 8.0 system while using freshclam to download new daily updates. I received some good advice from Phil Randal to update to 075.1 I had been using .070. When I updated both systems freshclam worked great on one machine (run level=5), but still did not function problem on the other (run=3). I made another post to the list but did not get any additional answers. I did receive some off-list emails from others with the same problem so I thought I would send this to the list letting everyone know there is a klug fix. After checking permissions and owners of the directories and files I found that both machines had the same protocols. I found that by using the option of --user=root with freshclam I was able to get freshclam to work properly with the exception that the daily.cvd files were owned by root instead of clamav. In order to get the downloads and leave the system with files having clamav as owner and group with the proper protections I did the following: 1. removed the freshclam cronjob from clamav 2. created similar cronjob in root to activate the following script: # Klug to fix "Error - Verification: Broken or not a CVD file" /usr/local/bin/freshclam --quiet -l /var/log/clam-update.log --user=root cd /usr/local/share/clamav/ chown clamav daily.cvd chgrp clamav daily.cvd chmod 644 daily.cvd I would prefer to have the original cronjob in clamav so if there are other solutions I would like to know.
