[clamav-users] freshclam leaving files in /tmp

[Duncan Berriman]

Hi,

Each time freshclam runs automatically via clamd it is leaving 2
temporary files in /tmp.

-rw-------   1 root   root         0 Sep 29 09:17 tmp.UdjG3Qnk4E
-rw-------   1 root   root         0 Sep 29 09:17 tmp.ckxjwHlr6w
-rw-------   1 root   root         0 Sep 29 10:06 tmp.NH7Q23MtU2
-rw-------   1 root   root         0 Sep 29 10:06 tmp.mZHPFuqY8n
srw-rw-rw-   1 root   root         0 Sep 29 11:00 clamd.socket
-rw-------   1 root   root         0 Sep 29 11:11 tmp.PTl4mGJ2uG
-rw-------   1 root   root         0 Sep 29 11:11 tmp.KDrXkCQfvd
-rw-r-----   1 clamav clamav     377 Sep 29 11:11 ClamAV.update.log

No errors are recorded in the log file or in maillog or messages.

Running with standard (sample) conf files

It also happened under 0.98.4. I have a 2nd mail server which is working
fine.

I guess it is because the tmp files are owned by root for some reason
rather than clamav

Thanks for any help
