Have you tried this?

You can use nc (netcat), socat or any other tool to connect to a unix socket and issue a PING, VERSION, etc. > If I do 'clamscan <file/directory>', it scans it > properly. But when I do 'clamdscan <file/directories>', It says permission > denied:(. That may well be because you are scanning files that are not acccesible from the clamav user which the daemon is running. Try using --stream to pass the whole file via stream to clamd. # clamdscan root.file root.file: lstat() failed: Permission denied.
