Dear Philip
refer to your clamd.conf the user of clamav must be change to "qscand" not
"qscend"
and then you must change permisson of the directory "/var/log/clamav" and
"/var/lib/clamav to qscand
for example "chown -R qscand:qscand /var/log/clamav"
and logrotate.d that I answer in

Subject: [Clamav-users] Clamav 0.86-2 Freshclam permissions and log files
Hello Everyone,
I am attempting to set up ClamAV and have managed to install the rpm for
0.86.2 from ftp dot suse dot com. ClamAV seems to be up and running,
yippee!
However, I have a problem with freshclam. I set the user and log file
locations according to the qmailrocks dot org website ie user is "qscend"
and log file is /var/log/clamav/clam-update.log.
If I run "freshclam" it seems to connect and update but if I run
"freshclam -d" or "freshclam -i /var/log/clamav/clam-update.log", I get
the
following error:
"ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/clam-update.log in append mode (check
permissions!).
ERROR: Problem with internal logger."
I have tried changing the directory and file ownership to root as well as
qscand. I have changed the permissions to everything from 600 to 777 and
still I get the same error.
I have also noted that in the clam.log file, there is an error as follows:
"ERROR: Can't save PID in file /var/lib/clamav/clamd.pid"
In /var/lib/clamav there is no clamd.pid file!
Could these issues be related? Any suggestions?
In case you haven't guessed from the download site, I have installed this
on
SuSE 9.1 Pro.
.
Philip Craig
