Why not create a separate directories for clamav user (or whoever it runs as - I use amavis). Like: $ ls -ld /var/run/clamav drwxr-xr-x 2 amavis amavis 4096 Feb 8 06:27 /var/run/clamav/ Then configure clamd to use other pidfile, etc.: PidFile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl User amavis I even separated running clamd from updating database, so that clamd couldn't mess with database (just in case). $ ls -ld /var/lib/clamav drwxr-xr-x 4 clamav clamav 4096 Feb 13 02:44 /var/lib/clamav/ -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.
