[clamav-users] What are all the tmp.xyzuvwpqrs subdirs that keep accumulating

[Paul Kosinski]

For ClamAV 0.103.0:
  root at ime1:~# grep -i temporary /opt/clamav.d/clamav.0.103.0/etc/clamd.conf
  # Optional path to the global temporary directory.
  TemporaryDirectory /var/clamav/tmp
  # Do not remove temporary files (for debug purposes).
  LeaveTemporaryFiles 0

For ClamAV 0.102.1 it was the same:
  root at ime1:~# grep -i temporary /opt/clamav.d/clamav.0.102.2/etc/clamd.conf
  # Optional path to the global temporary directory.
  TemporaryDirectory /var/clamav/tmp
  # Do not remove temporary files (for debug purposes).
  LeaveTemporaryFiles 0

But the subdirs are in my "/opt/clamav.d/clamav.0.103.0/share/clamav/" directory. (I install each new version under opt, "just in case".)

And there's no "temporary". "tmp" or "temp" (except in the word "attempt") in my freshclam.conf file.
