Thank-you for the info. I would like to run dccifd in of dccproc anyway. A half a second is half a second gained.
Q: Should it be started as root, and then drop privs?I could add it to init.d/dccifd as:- dccifd -I dcc:dcc -Q -G off -Q is there for testing. no point reporting stuff during testing. -G off I have greylisting already implimented. I am unsure if this will help or hinder. Cheers, S
