And:

[root at physics ~]# /usr/bin/freshclam
WARNING: Can't get information about user clamupdate.

freshclam does not update the virus list but the server is still
working.
Until now we had:

[cristi at s198 ~]$ sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep clamupdate
clamupdate:x:992:989:Clamav database update
user:/var/lib/clamav:/sbin/nologin
[cristi at s198 ~]$
