[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#988606: logrotate script creates logfile with wrong group

[Adam L Jacobs]

Package: clamav-freshclam
Version: 0.103.2


postinst creates a logrotate config that creates new log files with group "adm".  That used to be fine, but newer versions of clam
seem to update the group of the log file to the clam process' group whenever clam restarts.  That group is usually "clamav" and
almost always isn't "adm".

the result is that the log file gets created with one group by logrotate, but then gets changed when clam restarts.  this
confuses IDS tools like AIDE.

postinst should be changed so that the newly created logfile has the user and group of the user that clam runs as.
