guess some socket user can say more...

ClamD/TCP have been very nice to me for a long time :-)

All of my training says that if I put postfix (which is the chown user) and www-data (which is the chown group) in to clamav then it should be able to access everything that those two can access or am I missing something here? I am including my clamd.conf file below. I really don't want to use 0755 for my permissions as when I googled I saw in one post, unless I really have to.
