I have just installed ClamAV from Debian testing (version 0.51) and I have been trying to run some quick tests to see how well clamscan works with mbox files.
I have an mbox which contains nothing but known viri (klez, bugbear, elkern, etc.) which I am just trying to scan to see what viruses clamscan detects from the box. I issue the following command and get the following error: moya:/home/sam/work/temp# cat mbox | clamscan --mbox - ERROR: Can't create /tmp/8dc89243486bdb34/HREF.pif This error occurs regardless of what the permissions/ownership of /tmp is, and regardless of whether or not I redirect the temp directory elsewhere (to another place owned by either the user or clamav): moya:/home/sam/work/temp# cat mbox | clamscan --mbox \ > --tempdir=/home/tmp2 - ERROR: Can't create /home/tmp2/deb928656ae12677/HREF.pif clamscan seems to have already made several files before this one. I'm assuming it's extracting the files and then scanning them (but I'm just guessing). But somehow this particular one is stopping it. Has anyone encountered this before? I have figured out which particular email is giving clamscan the problems, in case anyone else wants to try it and see if it makes their clamscan choke. -- Sam "Criswell" Hart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AIM, Yahoo!: <criswell4069> Homepage: < http://www.geekcomix.com/snh/ > PGP Info: < http://www.geekcomix.com/snh/contact/ > Tux4Kids: < http://www.tux4kids.org/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
