[clamav-users] Permission problem while creating tmp file

[Alex Regan]

Hi,

I have a fedora20 system with amavisd-2.9.1, clamav-0.98.6, postfix, and 
spamassassin, and it's been running fine forever. I'm now having an 
issue with clamav creating temporary files for amavis. clamd is running 
as user amavis, yet it prints the following:

May  1 17:02:06 mail02 clamd[25732]: 
/var/spool/amavisd/tmp/amavis-20150501T165504-27729-5xw6dnm4/parts/p001: 
Can't create temporary directory ERROR

# ps axwwwu|grep clam
amavis   25732  2.8  1.5 823212 523148 ?       Ssl  16:47   0:21 
clamd.amavisd -c /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf --pid 
/var/run/clamd.amavisd/clamd.pid

If I change to the amavis user, I can create files in the tmp directory:

# ls -ld /var/spool/amavisd/tmp
drwxr-x---. 9 amavis amavis 12288 May  1 17:03 /var/spool/amavisd/tmp

Does anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Maybe there's some 
tracing I can enable to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Alex
