Hello forum.

I've got an RHEL 3 server (yes, I know...) running clamd on generic hardware. 
When I start clamd, it appears two processes are created. None of my other 
systems do this (RHEL 4 and 5 systems). I didn't notice this happening until a 
couple days ago when nagios started alerting low memory on the system.

Whenever I start the process by invoking clamd and specifiying the config file, 
it starts without error. When I run top, it shows two processes with separate 
PID's running, using the same amount of resources. When I do a "ps -ef", it 
only shows one of them. If do a kill on the second unseen PID, it kills them 
both.

Can anyone tell me if this is something RHEL 3 has always done and I just 
haven't noticed it, or is this out of the norm?

Many thanks!
