           Summary: Be clamav (and other virus scanners) friendly
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: medium
         Component: amavisd-new

Description of problem:
Clamd cannot read the files it is asked to scan, if it is run as the user
clamav, even though it is a member of the amavis group

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install clamav and amavisd-new
2. Add clamav user to amavis group
3. Scan some mails

Actual results:
Aug  8 14:52:47 jukebox amavis[25410]: (25410-12) (!!)ask_av (ClamAV-clamd)
FAILED - unexpected result:
/var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20080808T135109-25410/parts: lstat() failed.
ERROR\n


Additional info:
The two directories /var/spool/amavisd /var/spool/amavisd/tmp needs to be group
readable/executable (workaround: chmod g+rx /var/spool/amavisd
/var/spool/amavisd/tmp)

It is possible to run clamav as amavisd user but then you do not get the
security of using different users (and you need to change some other dirs. to
be owned by amavis user).
