Check out the clamav.conf file... In the file, there are two locations you want to check...
The first entry is LocalSocket it set to /tmp/clamd by default. Set this to somewhere that clamd can write to with its UID/GID. /tmp is the best, but that requires perms to /tmp. The second entry is TCPSocket, it's simply a number set 3310 by default. If 3310 is already in use by another program, and you wish to use it as a TCP based virus server, then change this to something else that you know can be accessed by other machines, etc, but unless clamd is being run as root, which in your case, it is not, definately don't go below 1024.... You likely do not use this, so just make sure its commented out... It's kind of a useless feature unless you're doing something real bizarre with clamd. Best thing to do is change the UID/GID that clamd is running under.... I have clamd running as it's own user with UID/GID at 102/102, my perms for /tmp are 777 owned by root.root and perms for /var/run are 755 root.root as well. my clamav user is also in the root group, allwing me to give it more without letting perms go... Just make sure not to let the clamav user log in... ;-) Thus clamav runs with priveleged permissions, and has access to lots of things that it needs in order to run right...
