For those interested,

One work around that I have found is to install ClamXav http:// www.clamxav.com/ on my LOCAL machine, make a tar of the /usr/local/ clamXav directory - download that to the SERVER - untar It in /usr/local

I was then able to use /usr/local/clamXav/bin/clamscan with user root without any problem.

I have proceeded that way because Developper Tools were not installed on this server - which does not allow to compile any program on the server… I guess another solution would have been to compile Clamav with the right user // As suggested.


I don't know if there is any reason for Apple to provide us with old "broken" programs - what a waste of time…


Thanks everybody for your help.

Edit the freshclam.conf and clamd.conf files and uncomment the User or DatabaseUser entries; these files will be under /etc/ spam/clamav if you are using Apple's default location.
Please see earlier discussion - this is a compile time setting. Whoever
built these binaries for the OPs system did it with --user=0 or some
other thing. The binaries will need to be recompiled, or he'll need to
find a way to get a user 0 recognized by getpwnam.


To find who the run-as user is that was compiled into the binary, run:

$ strings clamscan |fgrep "get information about user"
