Hi I found it, but it doesn't solve the problem.
libpam_tmpdir, creates a (!)more secure tmp directory along the lines of
/tmp/users/$(id -x)/ and sets TMP to /tmp/users/$(id -x) the problem
with the way that clamav-deamon starts is /etc/init.d/clamav-deamon
starts as root and TMP & TMPDIR is equal to /tmp/user/0 which
clamav-deamon can't write to once it changes to clamav user. If I set
the tmp directory in /etc/default/clamav to /tmp/users/$(id -x clamav)
it works, but I also need to create the directory because the change of
uid doesn't invoke libpam_tmpdir
ID=$(id -u clamav)
if [ ! -d /tmp/user/$ID ]
then
mkdir -p /tmp/user/$ID
chown $ID.0 /tmp/user/$ID
chmod go= /tmp/user/$ID
fi
#export TMPDIR=/dev/shm
#export TMP=/var/tmp
export TMPDIR=/dev/shm
export TMP=/tmp/user/$ID
