[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#527901: please make PID files world-readable

[Peter Eisentraut]

Package: clamav-daemon
Version: 0.95.1+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

The PID files /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid and /var/run/freshclam.pid (not sure 
about the -milter package) are -rw-rw---- clamav:clamav, but there doesn't 
appear to be a good reason for that.  If they were world-readable, then 
/etc/init.d/clamav-xxx status or similar alive checkers could operate without 
special privileges.
