LS,

I use several machines and found that most of the time the use of the 'clamav-daemon.socket' file only leads to a startup failure of clamd. Why is this file file in the first place? I ask this because clamd is already creating the socket - that is, when the socket was not created earlier.

In my current configurations, I just disabled the clamav-clamonacc.socket file without problem.

So, what is it's intended use?

--- Frans.

In the abstract, systemd .socket units are intended to avoid startup load and/or consuming resources for services that do not run all the time. They are generally only useful to services that start up quickly. I started looking at the possibility of shipping it with the Fedora package but decided that clamd does not meet these expectations. It has a very long startup time and so systems almost always what it started immediately so that it can respond quickly when needed. I would recommend just dropping it.
