Re: [SLUG] clamdscan failing

[Jeff Ai]

1. i am not sure about qmail-queue-scanner.pl so don't know your problem 
here. but if you want to scan all you incoming email, there is a mail 
scanner called amavis, it can use clamdscan as the anti-virus engine.

2. maybe you want to check your /etc/clamd.conf file and change the user 
from clamav to root.

Sluggers,

just wondering if anyone can help out with a clamdscan problem. I'm 
using clamscan to scan incomming e-mails under qmail-queue-scanner.pl 
and it's all working fine detecting virii etc except for the fact that 
it takes around 2 secs to do the scan. So I wanted to use clamdscan 
(the front end to clamd) but it fails with this error

  Can't access the file ERROR

If I run it on the command line

   #> clamdscan msg.pif
   /root/msg.pif  Can't access the file ERROR
(yes the file exists with 744 permissions)

Ok, so I appear to have some sort of permission problem but I can't 
figure it out, same error occurs in all directories and with non-root 
users.

any cluesticks? (Fedora core btw)

TIA's

P.
