This is the init script snippet: case "$1" in no-daemon) su "$User" -p -s /bin/sh -c "freshclam -l $UpdateLogFile --datadir $DatabaseDirectory" As you can see, it's freshclam that echo's "Starting database update:", not the init script. Which means that at the point you get a password prompt, freshclam is already running. Since there is no password prompting going on in freshclam itself, I have no idea how you've managed to do this. Can you send the output of sh -x /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam no-daemon ? If that doesn't give us anything useful, I may ask for more debugging, but I really don't see how this is happening. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
