Hi How to confirm deleted files are false positive?
I did a default un-install and default install of 1.3.2. ran --update then a scan then --propupd then -c -sk scan.Am running all tests and none disabled [15:15:32] Info: Starting test name 'deleted_files' [15:15:32] Checking running processes for deleted files [ Warning ] [15:15:32] Warning: The following processes are using deleted files: [15:15:32] Process: /usr/sbin/hald PID: 2834 File: /tmp/init.riMOoa [15:15:32] Process: /usr/sbin/crond PID: 2904 File: /tmp/init.MdGsSR [15:15:32] Process: /sbin/ifplugd PID: 3101 File: /tmp/init.tR40pA System checks summary..

What thoughts you guys?? -------------------------- So I tried again after a full reboot Warning: The following processes are using deleted files: [16:32:59] Process: /usr/sbin/hald PID: 2868 File: /tmp/init.Ah0aGe [16:32:59] Process: /usr/sbin/crond PID: 2912 File: /tmp/init.RDIhOJ [16:32:59] Process: /sbin/ifplugd PID: 3101 File: /tmp/init.I2rvZB [16:32:59] Process: /sbin/dhclient PID: 3292 File: /tmp/init.I2rvZB The only difference this time....is I did not disable the net before running the scan. looking at the ifplugd and my wired eth dhclient....I am fairly happy I caused that. ----------------------- looking at ifplugd log Mar 6 15:08:20 gs ifplugd(eth0)[3101]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth0 up'. then nothing for ifplugd until......rkh scan ran in period Mar 6 15:51:57 gs ifplugd(eth0)[3101]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth0 down'. ------------------------------------ I am assuming that the process, whichever one, once finished.....my distro is deleting the temp files. If I had an exact time match I would not be posting....so I am looking for comments or techniques rather than assuming its false positive. The idea did occur me to run a cut down tripwire or other checker on /tmp only before or after.....but I will let the gurus decide if that is the correct way. cheerio Get the name you always wanted with the new y7mail email address. www.yahoo7.com.au/y7mail ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
