Most often with distribution-neutral installations of DansGuardian a virus scanning problem is due to file permissions. DansGuardian writes each file to be scanned with the owner and group DansGuardian itself is running as and permissions -r–r—–. In order to scan these files, ClamAV needs to have the OS’s permission to read them.
