Good point.

Well I attach the whole of the init script to this email in case anyone
can see any problems - but the key parts are:

CLAMD_PIDFILE=/var/run/clamd.${CLAMD_SERVICE}/clamd.pid

and 

start () {
	echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
	daemon --pidfile=${CLAMD_PIDFILE} \
	    exec -a $procname /usr/sbin/clamd \
	    ${CLAMD_CONFIGFILE:+-c $CLAMD_CONFIGFILE} ${CLAMD_OPTIONS} --pid ${CLAMD_PIDFILE}
	RETVAL=$?
	echo
	[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch $lockfile
	return $RETVAL
}

Should I put a "touch $PIDFILE" in there? Or would I also need a mkdir
command?

This is a Fedora yum package. Shouldn't this just work?

Thanks for your help so far...
