Since I installed clamd a week ago, I've had to manually create the /run/clamd.scan directory and the clamd.sock file.  The clamd daemon is not doing this even though it is running as root.
# ps aux |grep clamd
root      1963 93.0 25.5 345992 258728 ?       Rs   11:34   0:02 /usr/sbin/clamd -c /etc/clamd.d/clamd.conf --foreground=yes

In its config file is:
LocalSocket /run/clamd.scan/clamd.sock
LocalSocketGroup virusgroup
LocalSocketMode 660
FixStaleSocket yes
AllowSupplementaryGroups yes

... so I can't imagine why it is not creating its own socket directory and socket.  I even rebooted with selinux disabled, but no improvement.

When I create its socket it pretends to bind to it, but then -milter can't see clamd.  Maybe the problem is with clamd after all.
