In the default configuration clamav-daemon is needed because clamav-unofficial-sigs runs cron jobs as the clamav user, stores sigs in the directories from clamav-daemon and calls clamd to reload sigs. If you don't want to run clamd, I would suggest you configure your init system to not run it and then configure clamav-unofficial-sigs to not tell clamd to reload the sigs: sudo sh -c 'update-rc.d disable clamav-daemon ; (echo ; echo reload_dbs=no ; echo reload_opt= ) >> /etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs.conf.d/disable-reload.conf' Is the above acceptable to you? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
