Hi All,

debian sarge system

logging in as root

clam v8.X

configured clamd.conf - do not have copy of file at
this location - will post if required.

line in clamd.conf is this:
VirusEvent /whatever/whatever/xmessage "virus found" 

i have tested virus event command line in shell -
produces xmessage box with 'virus found'.
but when i run 'clamd /root' in terminal it detects
eicar virus at that location but does not run
xmessage. 
i've checked clamd logs but nothing logged..

i tried other virus events such as echo with no joy.
not sure if this is a security thing with clamd and
root..
i've spent hours working on clam and now finally got
everything croned and running, but it's next to
useless without virusevent!

any help much appreciated
i have read other posts on this subject to no avail...

thanks
K
