Hi Mike. I can recreate this problem if I don't have execute permissions on /var/log. If you do a "chmod o+x /var/log" I bet the problem will go away.

I have clamav 0.75.1 on FC2.  As root, when I run the command freshclam (no
options at all), I get:

ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode.
ERROR: Problem with internal logger.

The permissions of what I would think is relevant are as follows:

drwxrwxr-x  2 clamav clamav 4096 Oct 17 18:13 /var/log/clamav
-rw-r--r--  1 clamav logs 768 Oct 17 18:46 /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log

Of course, when I run the command
# freshclam -u root
it all works fine.

I don't understand what is wrong with the permissions I've got, or if that's
not it, what my problem is.
