Shouldn't have anything *in* it.  It should be a socket.  The clamd
process will attack to it and listen for commands.

Look at your /etc/clamd.conf file, and look for the LocalSocket
definition.  On my system, its in /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock which is:

> # ls -l /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock
> srw-rw-rw-. 1 clamav clamav 0 Nov 29 15:11 /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock

Notice the leading "s" in the ls output indicating that it is a socket.

clamav clients (including freshclam) will open this socket when they
wish to write (send) commands to the clamd server....
