clamd user / permission denied

Posted: 11 Nov 2013, 10:34

Hello,

clamd daemon is running as the clam user (member of group clam)

/home/*/public_html folders permissions are set as 0750/drwxr-x---

As such, cxs/clamd is unable to scan any public_html folders/files for viruses.

- Should I set o+x to the public_html folders? (insecure)
- Should I add my clam user to the nobody group? (the public_html folders group is set to nobody)

Has anybody encountered this?

Hi,

I know this is an old thread but I'm having the same problem with folders set to 0754. I've added the clam user to the folder owner's group but I'm still getting permission denied errors. cxs is running as a cron job if that makes any difference. cxs itself can scan files in these folders, just not clamd.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,

Martin.
