In CentOS 7, only root can write to /var/log. You should create a clamav directory under /var/log and give the ClamAV user write access to it, then configure ClamAV to write its logs there. That, or switch to syslog or similar, if ClamAV allows it. ---------------------------------------------------- Waren, That solved the problem, I created a subdirectory in /var/log as clamd and changed /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf. I was not aware that only root can write to /var/log Thanks again!!! Greg
