If your system is running even lightly loaded you can hit 5 concurrent sessions - especially if you are scanning outbound and inbound (which not enough people do). Unless you have a memory constraint you should kick the limit out to as many as your system should be expected to handle. Monitor memory usage for a while with max-children set to 25, for example, and see how it goes. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
