Ah, I see.  In that case...

...why not change this to listen instead on a TCP socket, and use the
single (and up to date) clamd instance on your OpenSUSE server to scan
for your other servers?  Of course depending on how many there are you
might need more than one machine running a clamd process, but normally
you won't need a clamd running on every machine.

Be aware that when clamd listens to a TCP socket, it provides no way
to prevent connections to the socket from devices which you might not
want to connect to it.  You have to do that stuff yourself.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by that.
