you don't provide the rights for /var/lib/clamav but say who must be able to write there. use chmod to give write rights to <user> (same as uid 1000) or give write rights to <group> and make <user> a member of gid 100. or make <user> or the group "user" the file owner chown logname:user above <user> = logname google for: file rights for clamav provides probably better and more accurate answers. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

or make <user> or the group "user" the file owner

chown logname:user

above <user> = logname

trying to run freshclam

You don't run "freshclam" yourself. You simply activate a service or a cronjob that does that for you, and already has the appropriate permissions. Telcontar:~ # systemctl status freshclam.service ● freshclam.service - Freshclam virus definitions downloader Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/freshclam.service; *enabled;* vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-07-08 18:08:12 CEST; 3 weeks 6 days ago Main PID: 3349 (freshclam) Tasks: 1 (limit: 512) CGroup: /system.slice/freshclam.service └─3349 /usr/bin/freshclam -d And if you need to do it manually, you do it as root. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
