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:

in your 1.3.2 conf you name some deleted file processes but none concern me at 
present.

cron ran at 14:30 localtime and logs show
Mar  6 14:33:10 gs anacron[3082]: Normal exit (2 jobs run)
Mar  6 15:01:02 gs crond[13956]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts --report 
/etc/cron.hourly)
Mar  6 15:08:18 gs crond[2904]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)

Mar  6 16:01:31 gs crond[2912]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)

I would not call that a match. 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.
