Hi,
I have the same problem (0.65 and devel).
It seems the signal handling isn't sufficient.
In clamd/server.c sighup is set, but it seems it's never really
used to re-open the logfile.
case SIGHUP:
sighup = 1;

The log file itself must be writeable for clamd not only a directory.
But of course logfile is owned by user clamav group clamav mode 640.

Copytruncate is only work-around that bug. Clamd doesn't close logfile
and open it again as it should when it's getting SIGHUP. And same
applies to freshclam.

It may be true, unfortunately.
I'd like to stress that, though logrotate and clamd cooperate for me, it
may be the effect of restarting clamd, not SIGHUPping it:

Tomasz,
you dont need to lose time with logrotate. This is simple step by step,
how to test it:
1) Start

Initially, yes, but a SIGHUP is done to make the application re-open the

That's not the problem. Problem is that kill -HUP doesn't affect clamd
at all. It doesn't release old

Just a thought, user clamav does not have write permissions in the log
directory, so logrotate, which I guess runs as root should create the new
files also, owned by user clamav.
Or did I overlook something?
That could be it. If clamav opens the log

when it receives the HUP signal it may be trying as the clam user.
You're right. Petr: the solution to your problem is to change the owner
of the log file so clamd is able to open it for r/w.
Doesnt help.

That's not gonna work. I have clamd.log in directory writeable by user
