Before you start using the daemon you have to edit the configuration file
(in other case <code>clamd</code> won't run):
<PRE>
$ clamd
ERROR: Please edit the example config file /etc/clamd.conf.
</PRE>
This shows the location of the default configuration file. The format and
options of this file are fully described in the <SPAN CLASS="textit">clamd.conf(5)</SPAN>
manual. The config file is well commented and configuration should be
straightforward.
