If you are installing ClamAV for the first time, you have to add a new
|
|
user and group to your system: <A NAME="tex2html18"
|
|
HREF="footnode.html#foot168"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">3</SPAN></SUP></A> <PRE>
|
|
# groupadd clamav
|
|
# useradd -g clamav -s /bin/false -c "Clam AntiVirus" clamav
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
The above method works on Linux and Solaris - in case you don't have
|
|
<SPAN CLASS="textit">groupadd, useradd</SPAN> please consult the system manual.
|
|
If you are installing ClamAV on a user account you may omit this step with
|
|
the <code>--disable-clamav</code> option passed to the <code>configure</code> script:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
$ ./configure --disable-clamav
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
It disables testing for existence of the <SPAN CLASS="textit">clamav</SPAN> user and group.
|
|
<SPAN CLASS="textbf">clamscan still requires the unprivileged user and group to work
|
|
in the superuser mode.</SPAN> The password for that account should be locked
|
|
in <SPAN CLASS="textit">/etc/passwd</SPAN> or <SPAN CLASS="textit">/etc/shadow</SPAN>.
