The clamav-devel port says it tracks the snapshots. I didn't think I was
quite that brave.

Should I be?

I figured as much and things are working now. How do I "up the log settings"
for clamav. I turned on "debug" in the clamav.conf and all it did was report
lots of info when it started up, but nothing when it was running.

But I'm still curious why group permissions wouldn't be good enough to get
this going. There's something I'm not understanding here.

Sorry for the off-topic.
