Hi, I am a newbie clam user. I have set clamav to scan incoming mail, and for efficiency purposes I have decided to use the daemon. When using "top" to list running processes I see that 1) clamd is listed twice and using 14M of memory each 2) whenever a mail is processed a new process starts, terminating after a while
My questions are: a) The above situation makes sense or have I done something wrong? b) Is it ok that the idle daemon is taking up so much memory? c) Is the second process as a matter of fact a child process running in its parent memory space? d) Using clamscan instead of the daemon will be less efficient? And one more question: e) Is it ok to start the daemon in "inittab" as av:2345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/clamd Thank you all Julio Maidanik _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
