Description Jetchko Jekov 2003-12-11 00:12:25 UTC

clamav ebuild uses a dir /usr/share/clamav for storing antivirus signatures
according to FHS /usr/share is a hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent data files. While signatures is not readonly I think that right directory for that purpose must be in /var/lib hierarchy (/var/lib/clamav for example, --with-dbdir=/var/lib/clamav)

Created attachment 22020 [details, diff]
little modification of /etc/init.d/clamd

Right logic (in my opinion) for FRESHCLAM_LOG config option
