Not sure if you're following the clamav list at all, but.. 0.85 seems
to have introduced what some people are calling a bug. Prior releases
created the clamd.log and freshclam.log files with owner and group of
root. Even though clam was running with the clamav user (or whatever
you specified) it was still able to write to the files. (I suspect that
was actually the bug, and the current behaviour is more correct,
although not perfect.. the files should be created with the clam user,
not root) .. Now, if the files are owned by root, and permissions are
not world writeable, clam can't write to the logs.
So, the long and short of it is that I would recommend specifiying the
owner and group in the rotate config, as well as the modes for the
files.. I use this here :
/var/log/clamav/clamd.log {
missingok
nocompress
create 644 clamav clamav
postrotate
/sbin/service clamd reload 2> /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log {
missingok
nocompress
create 644 clamav clamav
postrotate
/sbin/service freshclam reload 2> /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
