CentOS - Mar 2008 - Re: CentOS Digest, Vol 38, Issue 23

Ann,

    Actually I had to add read / execute permissions to the aliases.db 
to stop the error messages.  I'd just like to know what clamav is doing 
to it or why it needs to read it.

    I installed the clamav with yum but for some reason it does not know 
it's in there.  How to fix?

Have you (as root) run 'updatedb'?

What's the (top half) output of 'rpm -qi clamav'?

Also, list your permissions on aliases.db -

ls -l /etc/aliases.db
-rw-r----- 1 root smmsp 12288 Mar 20 11:54 /etc/aliases.db

And PLEASE, change the subject line to something more descriptive of your 
problem.  You may need to be more specific than my attempt.
