Everything is working but I don't know if some |'deamon' spoils performance or something) A license daemon, as far as I know, monitors access to an ISTAR/INET server and logs these accesses in a file. I'm not sure what else it does, but it has caused us problems in the past and we have advised all our sites to disable it. I think it only comes with version 5.01 of INET/ISTAR and was dropped in 5.02 and later, so if you don't have this version, don't worry about it.
