Recent versions of DCC spawn dccifd if dccproc is invoked a certain
amount of times during a certain period of time, i.e. frequently.
That's why you see it even if you haven't configured it.

In theory it sounds good to run it daemonized but in practice I didn't
notice any big difference. You should be good though with your current
setup, just stop killing it. :-)
