If you know who the run-as user is and where the various files are going
to be created you need only ensure the directories they are placed in are
writeable by the run-as user. Also make sure that any existing files
written to by ClamAV are owned by the run-as user, or at least writable.
Many people start this stuff as user root before things are well-defined,
and the created files are owned by root which can be awkward for the
run-as user process that trys to write to them later.
