clamd SHUTDOWN command

When clamd is listening via TCPsocket it seems to be possible
for any user to shut it down by sending SHUTDOWN using e.g.
telnet clamdhost 3310
SHUTDOWN

Can this behaviour be disabled or restricted?

It would appear that this could be abused for a DOS attack
against a clamav server.
