I am not running clamd, so can't talk from experience there. However I am running another milter (smf-sav) which has far more restrictive permissions to keep sendmail happy: # ls -ld /var/run/smfs drwx------ 2 smfs smfs 4096 2006-09-08 08:26 /var/run/smfs # ls -l /var/run/smfs srw------- 1 smfs smfs 0 2006-09-08 08:26 smf-sav.sock Based on the above, you might try setting /var/run/clamav to 700. You list a clamd.sock file - that is your socket.
