Comment 6 for bug 487631

The jaunty clamav-daemon - acting as user clamav scan all files via clamdscan properly
In Karmic clamav-daemon - acts only as a root user scan all files via clamdscan properly
When running as user clamav - nothing scans - are only the errors (if the scan is done by clamdscan)

Havp-proxy and clamdrip (thunderbird plugin) to work and function correctly in both the Jaunty as well as Karmic

For now, i have no problem - I tested at home, but next week I start work at the mail server
 (Qmail + Dovecot) and there must be a virus scan - had to be clamav.
And now I wonder - if clamav-daemon running as root does not pose a threat to the system?

Jaunty program in clamav-daemon clamav user enough permissions - to work properly
in Karmic - clamav-daemon must have root permissions - why - I do not understand

And this situation is only - when the scanning is done by clamdscan.
Because I thought it was a mistake clamdscan - I do not know whether rightly.

And, finally, I do not know - whether in Jaunty was a mistake - that the user clamav has access to all files and clamav-daemon to work properly,
 whether Karmic is an error - because clamav user is not permitted to any file - and it must be user root to clamav-daemon to work properly.

This is where the error was - in Jaunty or Karmic?

Yours
