Ideally, it should be faster if using only the unix socket, but there is this in clamdscan/client.c:
/* #define ENABLE_FD_PASSING FIXME: Doesn't work yet */ But since it's passing the file stream, should not be possible to scan all files, regardless of the file permission, with clamdscan? But this is not the case: with clamdscan it is possible to scan only file seen by clamd. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
