Thanks Alan, I may have to do this. But I'm beginning to gather that the reason clamd is not creating its socket is that it's still loading current pattern databases. It's consuming 98% of CPU, although I'm not seeing any sign of network traffic, which seems odd. The signature database (main.cld) is 300MB and daily.cld is 126MB, so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe it's reconciling or something. I guess I'll move on to other things and see if clamd eventually creates its own socket without my intervention. This seems like a severe handicap to receiving email. In the clamd@.service I've niced it so I can be doing other things. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
