Could you attach your (broken) config files? It should then be pretty easy for
us to reproduce the problem. My problem, however, is that I'm not all that sure
anymore what your actual problem is. Is it just that freshclam cannot use the
socket? Which user are you running freshclam as? Is it the same user that is
used for clamd?
