Hi Jeff,

I think you may have run into this issue with ClamOnAcc's --log=FILE​ option https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav/issues/168

Files with cryptic names get written in / (unix root) · Issue #168 · Cisco-Talos/clamav Describe the bug On Debian/Ubuntu 20.04+ files with cryptic names get written in / (unix root): -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 8 13:54 ''$'\\006''1'$'\\375\\226\\035''... github.com

I don't know what the exact source of the bug is, but it should go away if you don't use the --log​ option.

Regards,

Micah

Subject: [clamav-users] error files in /

 

I am getting these strange files in the root file system “/” on my linux servers.

 

-rw-r-----.   1 root root    98 Apr 13 08:00 @??E?U

-rw-r-----.   1 root root    75 Apr 26 08:00 @g6??U

-rw-r-----.   1 root root    75 Apr  1 08:00 @g)$?U

 

 

The files contain the error message.

 

ERROR: ClamClient: Connection to clamd failed, Couldn't resolve host name.

ClamScanQueue: stopped

 

 

I believe it is occurring when the clam services are restarted each day. 

 

Any idea how to route these errors messages elsewhere?

 

Thanks,

Jeff Hoevenaar
