Hi falko, Performed following steps: # chown -R _clamav:_clamav /var/db/clamav/ On /etc/clamd.conf added Code: ...... # Run as another user (clamd must be started by root to make this option # working). # Default: don't drop privileges #User clamav User _clamav # /usr/local/sbin/clamd restart Code: Running as user _clamav (UID 539, GID 539) ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamd.log in append mode (check permissions!). ERROR: Problem with internal logger. Please check the permissions on the /var/log/clamd.log file. Error found. # ls -l /var/log | grep clamd.log # find / -name clamd.log both w/o printout I can either create "clamd.log" or to comment out: Code: #LogFile /var/log/clamd.log The problem is, the file "clamd.log" will grow continuously unless running "newsyslog" or "cron" (logrotate on Linux). But I'm not experienced on both of them. Can you advise? TIA B.R. satimis
No. OpenBSD uses "newsyslog" instead. I heard "cron" before. It is more powerful. Neither I have experience on both of them. satimis
