Thanks a lot for that good idea; i'll memorize it for - eventual other troubles ;) (I'm new to slackware, so, for me, it's the other way around, obviously: i came there because of systemd troubles which comprimzed the setup of one of my machines - a linux hostic samsung laptop ;) ) > > which makes the boot really slow (sometimes starting X even > > hangs!). > > It isn't clear to me what X has to do with any of this, but if you're > having problems with X as well it might indicate a more general issue > than just one which affects ClamAV. I guess, in the dark, there might be timing problems while the system is waiting for the return value of the daemon.

Even though, now it's only theoretical: It would be good to know: Could i attach something to a mail to the list? In any case: Thanks a lot for your patience and for the good points! :D _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
