The last few days we notice that email reports from cxs if reporting a virus now say:

WARNING: Quarantine disabled - Directory [/cxscgi] missing, run cxs --qcreate --quarantine
WARNING: Quarantine disabled - Directory [/cxsuser] missing, run cxs --qcreate --quarantine
WARNING: Quarantine disabled - Directory [] has incorrect permissions [0644 instead of 0755], run cxs --qcreate --quarantine

We have our quarantine directory in /home/quarantine since script install a few years ago and so not sure what's going on here. Also the last line above about permissions is confusing as we have ( per the original instructions) set permissions to 1777
cxs is v4.06

Please see the changelog. The quarantine permissions requirements have changed.

To fix this you need to rename the old quarantine directory out of the way, for instance to /home/quarantine.old. Then run this command:

Hello Sarah,
The changelog says

Automatically rename old quarantine directory to [dir].(timestamp) and create new quarantine structure

. Clearly that didn't happen for some reason. We have manually run the command as you suggested.
Thanks for your quick response.
Regards.
