[Qmail-scanner-general]scanner + clamd

[Steve R. <st...@ke...>]

Hi,

I've been looking everywhere for a solution to this problem.

I am seeing the same "widely reported" error where clamd can't
read the files created by qmail-scanner.  I have clamd running
as qscand and I've got the latest qmail-scanner 1.22.

I have confirmed that the tmp directory is writable and readable
by qscand and clamdscan is working fine from the command line.

The problem seems to be that the files spooled into tmp are owned
by root... see here:

[root@xxx tmp]# ls -la xxx*/*
-rw-------  1 root qmail 266 Jul 11 11:40 xxx.com108956044447919915/1089
560444.19917-0.xxx.com

Here I was in the tmp directory and look at the permissions on the file
being created.  Of course, clamdscan fails like so:

Please let me know if you have any idea how to fix this problem.
I'm running on Fedora Core 1 with the qmailtoaster packages.
