E.g. one can run more than one clamd instance (for testing purposes etc.) on one system. Each of these instances can be of different version, user running as, options. Thanks to --config-file, you can instruct clamdscan _to which_ clamd it has to connect. > I see it's in the man page... does it really work for all options? Only in the sense that clamdscan will use clamd which uses the options specified in the config file. I.e. the way of clamdcan's work depends indirectly on the specified clamd.conf - because the selected clamd instance depends on that clamd.conf. -- Tomasz Papszun SysAdm @ TP S.A.
