[clamav-users] temporary directories left in /var/lib/clamav

[David Pullman]

Hi,

We're seeing cases on some servers where tmp directories are possibly being
left behind in /var/lib/clamav. The following is one example, there are
some where more than one tmp dir is occurring.

Is this a sign of a failure to clean up after a download? Is there
something I can check in logs or in configuration regarding this? Or is it
simply a need to run a clean up process?

Thanks very much!

David
