It does. The original install was Dag's and worked without a problem. Then
came an update which broke ClamTK's operation. With the help of the ClamTK
dev that was fixed, but now I have this problem at bootup. What I haven't
tried, and will today, is booting with chkconfig off, but then starting clamd
from the CLI. If that is problem-free maybe I will need to talk to Dag.
