[ I'm omitting the rest of your message because I don't use OpenBSD and don't know its chroot synopsis, so I've got nothing to comment on it. ] Lynn, what do you mean saying "It starts multiple clamd daemons"? Isn't this, by chance, the normal clamd behaviour, like in: 14528 ? S 0:03 /usr/sbin/clamd 14529 ? S 0:14 /usr/sbin/clamd 14530 ? S 0:24 /usr/sbin/clamd There are multiple (3) processes (or maybe threads) and it's normal. Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions. -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.
