FYI - WARNING: Can't get information about user qscand .

Unread post by Kalimari »

Just in case it catches anyone else out, remove trailing white-space after *User* in configuration files: /etc/clamd.conf /etc/freshclam.conf. The configuration file parser, until version 0.94.2 removed white-space, since version 0.95 it doesn't, so if you run clamd.conf with:

User qscand<whitespace>, it calls getpwnam(filter<whitespace>) and not getpwname(filter).
