>Description:
On a fresh install of clamav, running the port's startup script fails
with what looks like a failure to create a temporary directory in /var/tmp:        

rosalita# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd.sh start
Starting clamav_clamd.
LibClamAV Error: cli_cvdload():  Can't create temporary directory /var/tmp//2f337bc40e520172
ERROR: Unable to create temporary directory.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
in /usr/ports/security/clamav, make ; make install, then follow instructions.

>Fix:
One possible workaround is to make /var/tmp writable for the clamav user. 
I'm not sure which is better - make the clamav user part of the 'wheel' group 
or make /var/tmp world writable.

A real fix would be to make the port handle this automagically, or at least
add something in a README or message about /var/tmp permissions.
