I wonder if someone can help me:

I'm running clamav-milter and clamd v.70 on a Redhat 9 machine.

My /tmp directory keeps filling up with directories of the form: clamav-006dc8fd472d18e9, and after a while /tmp fills up to the point where new files can't be created and all kinds of things on the machine start failing.


I second this. The directories contain 2 files, COPYING and viruses.db.
They must be left over from freshclam. Right ?


nope: each directory contains a file with a name that starts with 'textportion' - it looks like one of these gets created for each virus processed (or maybe each message processed) - not sure if its clamav-milter or clamd that's creating these, though given the directory name I'd guess the milter


so far, my quick-and-dirty work around is to create a cron job that does the following:

0 * * * * find /tmp -name 'clamav-*' -cmin +10 -exec rm -rf {} \; >/dev/null 2>&1

at least it keeps my /tmp directory from growing to the point that things break
