Topic: Clamav Securiteinfo unofficial sigs: cron job throws errors

[Michail Pappas]

SME 9.2, followed instructions under the wiki entry at https://wiki.contribs.org/Clamav_unofficial_sigs (I did create an account).

I'm getting the following error from the cron job:

Subject: Cron <root@mail> [ -x /usr/sbin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh ] && /bin/bash /usr/sbin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh

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

I could not find this directory /var/lib/clamav, only /var/lib/clamav-unofficial-sigs/ exists, with clam-update:clam-update permissions.

More info: running clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh for the first time manually, throws error:

Code: [Select]

It seems one has to edit file /etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs/os.conf and change these lines:

Code: [Select]

# RHEL/CentOS 6

clam_user="clam"
clam_group="clam"

clam_dbs="/var/lib/clamav"

to:

Code: [Select]

# RHEL/CentOS 6

clam_user="clamav"
clam_group="clamav"

clam_dbs="/var/clamav"

If Daniel reads this, perhaps he can confirm the correctness of the lines mentioned above.

Thanks mate, it seems the wiki entry needs some editing then. I'll try to do it over the next days.
