Hi All: I had a problem subscribing to this list, so I apologize if
this is a double-post!
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/clamav/clamd.log and
/var/log/clamav/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?
Again this is a permissions error. Both clamd and freshclam should
run as group _clamav (under leopard and above) if not as owner
_clamav. Check your config files. If you manually need to run use
sudo freshclam
