    Yah, I saw that in the clam log and tried deleting it and playing with chown and chmod to try to get it to work. I am still getting the same result. What should the file and folder permissions and owner be? This is what I get (see below) when I restart MAILTRANSPORT. A little more help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -tim

    I have a similar problem. Did you fix it?

    No.. no fix yet. The permissions seem fine. I am stuck:
    server:/var/clamav root# ls -l
    total 16
    -rwxr-x— 1 mailtran mailtran 4 19 Apr 02:46 clamd.pid
    srwxrwxrwx 1 mailtran mailtran 0 19 Apr 02:46 clamd.sock
    -rwxr-x— 1 mailtran mailtran 4 19 Apr 03:01 freshclam.pid
