# ps -ef | grep clamd ==> see owner (as you are running clamdscan): if it is not clamav it means there is another config file or an option in the startup procedure... # sudo -u clamav clamscan -v --config-file=/etc/clamav/clamd.conf nc_data/ ==> it should work as we are running as clamav # strace -o /tmp/strace.out -fp "`pgrep clamd`" & # clamdscan -v --config-file=/etc/clamav/clamd.conf nc_data/ # kill %1 # more /tmp/strace.out ==> analyze Pierre On 30 Oct 2018 at 18:22, Doug Ingham wrote: Hi all, For some reason, clamdscan is returning a permissions error for files it has read access to.
