I did a yum install from rpmforge of the 0.92 release under CentOS 5.1 and created the users using the pdf document as guide. If I issue #service clamd start it errors out with "ERROR: Unable to open file or directory". I have searched the mailing list archives and it seems this is a common configuration error. I do believe my perms are right? If I start clamd by #sudo -u clamav clamd, it starts and functions correctly?
Reading the docs, root needs to start clamd for the service to drop to a non privileged user, so why can't root start clamd in my config? If user clamav can start it, it surely mustn't be a perms issue? Sorry if I have missed something obvious, I am new Linux in general. Thanks for any direction, jlc _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
