Add salt and season to taste. If permissions on home dirs or (dev dirs) are set correctly clamd would be locked out of all of them. But there's no reason to assume that would be the case in the OP's world. If it is the case he could always pipe files as root to the clamd socket. There's a clamd-stream client on sourceforge from a couple years ago that may do the trick.

Trying to download http://db.us.clamav.net/main.cvd (IP: 64.142.100.50) Hi Brian, What happens if you put http://db.us.clamav.net/main.cvd into browser addressbar? It should download the file. Are you running Freshclam? As daemon or from cron? If from cron, what time are you checking? This box doesn't have a browser, it's a server. That's why I was trying to use wget. If I do that, I get: # wget http://db.us.clamav.net/main.cvd --16:52:08-- http://db.us.clamav.net/main.cvd = `main.cvd.2' Resolving db.us.clamav.net... 64.142.100.50, 64.246.44.108, 128.121.60.235, ...
