[clamav-users] Problem to update virus database

[john at doc2disk.com]

Hi Matus

Many thanks, much appreciated

Please see result which is showing clamav and we do not run freshclam under
root - it is run under clamav (244)

I am sorry if I am wrong and thank everyone for their help

Many thanks

John

you apparently created either dirs
/var/clamav/tmp/clamav-61f7880d2549a998be74b30d38fe6fc5.tmp
when ran freshclam under root. do:

ls -la /var/clamav/tmp/
