Hello list,

Today I found out that the problem that Shaun Bugler was having with large
temp files occured on my server as well. (The original message is here:
http://lurker.clamav.net/message/20051104.041209.3df26790.en.html )

I noticed not only that clamscan writes to these files until my /tmp
partition (250M) is full, but also that it leaves these temporary files after quitting.

As a workaround I use the following script:

!#/bin/sh
TMP=$(mktemp -d)
clamscan --tempdir=$TMP /stuff
rm -rf $TMP

Nevertheless it's a rather ugly problem for an otherwise very nice piece of
software. Is there more information about this problem?

I'm using clamav 0.87, as root, with the options -r --stdout -i. I'll upgrade to 0.87.1 asap and let you know if the problem persists.

Regards,

roel
