I should have mentioned my socket snippets.
7of9 var # grep clamd /etc/amavisd.conf
['ClamAV-clamd',
\&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock"],
and:
7of9 var # grep clamd /etc/clamd.conf
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock
Also, as I mentioned, freshclam can't notify clamd either with the same
permission denied error so it's not really an amavisd or socket name
error, as freshclam uses the name from /etc/clamd.conf?
Thanks in advance for any pointers :)
