[clamav-users] running freshclam and 3rd party/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh owner name changes occasionally

[Robert Kudyba]

Running ClamAV 103.0-1 on Fedora, I have freshclam
and clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh from
https://github.com/extremeshok/clamav-unofficial-sigs

Every few weeks I'll start seeing this error:

ERROR: clam database directory (clam_dbs) not writable /var/lib/clamav

Running this fixes it:
su clamav -s '/usr/local/sbin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh'

Here are the files not owned by clamav:
-rw-r--r--  1 clamupdate clamupdate    296388 Sep 19  2019 bytecode.cvd
-rw-r--r--  1 clamupdate clamupdate 112832258 Sep 17 09:53 daily.cvd
-rw-r--r--  1 clamupdate clamupdate 117859675 Nov 25  2019 main.cvd

In /etc/freshclam.conf I have:
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
DatabaseOwner clamav

And in ExtremeSHOK I have these settings:
/etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs/user.conf:clam_user="clamav"
/etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs/user.conf:clam_group="clamav"
/etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs/master.conf:clam_user="clamav"
/etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs/master.conf:clam_group="clamav"

Clamd setting:
/etc/clamd.d/scan.conf:User clamav

ps -auwx|grep -i clam
clamav    937639  0.3  1.5 2464352 1981128 ?     Ssl  04:45   1:06
/usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf
clamav    937912  0.0  0.0  27856 12772 ?        Ss   04:46   0:00
/usr/bin/freshclam -d --foreground=true
clamilt   938023  0.0  0.0 249988  1448 ?        Ssl  04:46   0:00
/usr/sbin/clamav-milter -c /etc/mail/clamav-milter.conf

I've tried grepping for the clamupdate user in all the .conf files and
anywhere it appears it's commented out. Any other places to look?
