Thanks for the response. I'm definitely running a mail server and I intentionally installed clamav-milter. Through some testing I've noticed it only makes these files when not shutdown cleanly. If I properly do a kill -TERM first during a shutdown I don't get them anymore. But its definitely clamav-milter making them which should never happen. Even if my syslog-ng was messed up. writing to the root randomly like that is a bug.

Are you running clamav-milter as root? If so, that might be why it is writing in the root directory.
I have not personally seen that issue of writing files to root directory.

Thanks, Jim
