28239 clamav 20 0 160m 132m 5304 S 0.0 17.6 0:27.65 clamd Memory usage does look a bit better than it did when I started this thread: Mem: 772880k total, 744904k used, 27976k free, 34384k buffers Swap: 1076312k total, 167580k used, 908732k free, 135420k cached Still going into swap but until I upgrade memory that will have to be sufficient. I can probably still remove some of the third party clam sigs and have it do what I want. Chris -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C
