You said it shouldn't log to / and there's no reason it shouldn't if that
is where one wishes it to log. There's lots of reasons why that would be a
bad idea, but it's an admin decision, not an application issue.



It sounds like clam is creating the log files *before* the root startup process hands over control to the user defined in the config files. In 0.84 and prior, it sounds like there was something that handed off an open filehandle to the defined user, but that filehandle was opened by root... I'm not sure if that's possible or not, so please correct me if I'm wrong.. :)

It seems that the current behaviour is more correct, but still not
completely correct..  I would expect that when clamav starts, all
control should be handed to the defined user immediately and then
files should be created, opened, etc...

It's possible that the current problems are mostly due to pre-existing
logfiles that are already owned by root, as opposed to new
installations.  To be honest, I haven't tried a new install to see if
the files are still created with "improper" permissions.



dp ... did I mention I'm anal?



Isn't anal a required attribute for those who are security conscious? ;)



Im having a problem with this new virus Trojan.Ascetic.C. I have clamav scanning mail through clamassassin (procmail). It isnt catching any of them. I have upgraded to the latest version of clamav and am using clamassassin 1.2.2. Any ideas how I can get it to start?

ddh
