clamd and tnef error?

[Randal, Phil]

Same issue here.  Workaround is to run clamd as root.

Cheers,

Phil

Subject: clamd and tnef error?

Hi

I am using MailScanner 4.78.17 and Clamd 0.96

Have noticed I get quite a few errors like this

Sep 14 10:25:38 srv1 MailScanner[14589]: Expanding TNEF archive at
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/14589/o8E9PaAC032175/winmail.dat
Sep 14 10:25:38 srv1 MailScanner[14589]: Clamd::ERROR:: lstat() failed: 
Permission denied. ERROR :: ./o8E9PaAC032175/tnef.14589

The error seems to always happen on winmail.dat files.

In Mailscanner.conf I have

Incoming Work User =
Incoming Work Group = clamav
Incoming Work Permissions = 0640

TNEF Expander = /usr/bin/tnef --maxsize=100000000

Clamd is running as clamav

[root at srv1 incoming]# ps aux | grep clamd
clamav    1267  2.0  3.0 172900 127788 ?       Ssl  Sep09 144:17 clamd

and the permissions on the working directory seem correct

[root at srv1 incoming]# pwd
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
[root at srv1 incoming]# ls -l
total 120484
drwxr-x---  3 root clamav        60 Dec 12  2009 13156
