If you chose the LocalSocket method of communicating with clamd, you
ca use a very cool piece of software called socat to send commands to
clamd. You can read about it here: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/.
Read the instructions on how to compile it, and then do:
socat - /tmp/clamd (

That doesn't work. PING is not a command-line argument.
If you telnet TO THE SOCKET [1], then write "PING\n" to the socket, you should
receive "PONG\n" from the socket.
[1]Yes, on some systems you really can telnet to a socket.
When I issue the command as root:
clamd PING
I receive the following error message:
ERROR: You must select server type (local/tcp).
I assume that I am suppose to change something in the clamd.conf file,
but I am unsure as to what.
