I updated my src tree to latest cvs. Now it seems that all work fine (i 
tested check_clamd and
check_tcp). I found one minor problem. When using with local sockets i 
found that there is a timeout (~2sec) from starting of the command and 
before any output. I found that this happens because of  request with 
socket name to DNS server. This patch will fix this:

Sure. May be i`ll try to find some time and create daemon which will 
response on check_tcp commands.
