I hope you are using the sendmail.mc method of sendmail configuration 
instead of hand hacking the sendmail.cf, but thats not actualy relevant...

With sendmail stopped, I start clamd(which creates 
/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock as before), then clamav-milter this time as
"clamav-milter -options local:/var/run/clmilter.sock"
Now I get error:

ClamAv: Unable to bind to port local:/var/run/clmilter.sock: 
Permission Denied
ClamAv: Unable to create listening socket on conn 
local:/var/run/clmilter.sock
the clamav-milter program will try to run as clamav user under typical 
install.

Odds are that ls -la /var/run /var/run/clmilter.sock will show you a 
permissions conundrum.
My recommendation?

Switch the sendmail/clamav-milter sock to point to 
/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock

I'm entering all these commands as root.

If sendmail is already running it issues a warning that 
/var/run/clmilter.sock is missing. If I then try again to start 
clmilter again the above error repeats.

So ???

Thanks

I had clamav antivirus working fine for a couple months.  Now after 
a reboot I can't it started to save my neck.  After starting the 
clamd deamon, which creates "/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock, and 
starting clamav-milter, clamav-milter exits with following error 
message:

ClamAv: Unable to bind to port local:/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock:

The socket you start the clamav-milter process as an argument is used 
for communicating with sendmail

depending on your clamd /etc/clamav.conf configuration, clamav-milter 
will connect to clamd using ANOTHER socket.

If you specified the milter to use the same socket as clamd, the 
above is what will happen.

Try stopping clamd, stopping clamav-milter.

Check the socket paths in the /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter and the 
arguments passed to clamav-milter (possibly in the init.d script). It 
should be the same as what you have in your sendmail.mc/sendmail.cf 
file.
Check the socket path that clamd uses (clamav.conf). It should be 
DIFFERENT than above.

If files exist there remove them.(use your judgement here)
