To solve this problem simply create directory /var/run/clamav and chown it to clamav.clamav then modify your sendmail.cf to look for clmilter.sock there and modify your clamd config to place its clamd.sock in there. Then there is no need to run anything in a risky state.
I do the same thing with BIND so it can run in an unpriviledged state. Carl [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fajar A.
