Hi All: I installed ClamAV 0.96.1 from source on Mac OS 10.6.4 (client, not server) as part of an ASSP intallation.

Logs are currently in /var/log/clamd.log and /var/log/freshclam.log

If I run freshclam, though, I receive an error:

Jul 12 09:34:43 mail net.clamav.clamd[950]: ERROR: Can't initialize the internal logger Jul 12 09:34:43 mail net.clamav.clamd[950]: ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/clamd.log in append mode (check permissions!).

I've been googling around and seeing many different clues related to permissions, but nothing that seems to apply correctly. Before I go fubar my install I was hoping someone may have solved this on OSX?

Try running "sudo freshclam" instead and enter your password when prompted (must be run from and administrator's account).

Thanks Robert: I am running it with sudo...I get the error either way :( _______________________________________________
