[Wylug-help] ClamAV problems

[Anne Wilson]

Every time CentOS has an update for ClamAV I have problems with it.  It
usually takes me 3-4 days to sort it out - not desirable - but this time
I don't seem to be able to get it right.  It seems to boil down to
whether certain files should be available to clam or to clamav.  The big
problem is that I don't know how to test when I make changes.  I assume
that freshclam has to run as clam (or as clamav?) but when I tried to su
to clam or clamav I was told that those accounts are not currently
available, so obviously they are not like normal users accounts.

So, the first question is, how can I run a test for whether my changes
are effective?  I can't wait for another night's update - it's already a
dangerously long time.
