Avira AntiVir UNIX Server
Avira GmbH
Depending on your operating system, you will receive the file
dazuko.o
or
dazuko.ko
in the temporary directory. AntiVir installation script will prompt for the path to
this file later.
Further information on Dazuko can be found on the website:
http://www.dazuko.org
. You may find distribution-specific details already documented
in the FAQ section.

Integration on Samba
You need AntiVir Backend for samba-vscan on all platforms in order to use the full
features of AntiVir Samba Scanner.
You need AntiVir Backend for samba-vscan if you want transparent monitoring of the file
access via Samba Service.
You have to create the AntiVir Backend for samba-vscan yourself (obtained through a
VFS Plug-in for Samba) because your Samba Service and the Backend must be based on
the same sources. Only this will ensure correct functionality of the VFS Plug-in and the
stability of your file server.
To proceed with this step, you will need knowledge of Samba compiling and samba-vscan.
Detailed information is found in the source pack documentation and on the websites of
these projects.
Preparing Samba
3
Check that your system contains the programs needed for compiling sources (gcc,
make etc.). This might be the case for standard UNIX installations. If necessary,
install the program packs. You can find more information in the documentation of
your UNIX distribution.
3
Make sure that you have the source text for samba-vscan in version 0.3.5 or newer on
your system. There is a patch for version 0.3.5 which implements AntiVir Backend.
Samba-vscan includes AntiVir Backend from version 0.3.6.
3
Make sure you have the exact version of Samba sources that you use for the file
server. You do not have to translate and install the entire Samba sources, only samba-
vscan pack. The installation of the translated Samba is of course the best way to
ensure that the Service and VFS plugin match one another.
You can initially install AntiVir without samba-vscan. In this case,
AntiVir runs without the Samba Scanner. You may still ensure
appropriate protection of the file release using AntiVir Guard. The
notifications to the remote users of the files are then implemented
with the option
ExternalProgram
in AntiVir Guard and with own
logic (for example, using UNIX scripts).
If your distributor has included an AntiVir Backend suited for your
Samba Server:
Skip the next step.
Check the name of the Backend and of the corresponding
configuration file on the system. Use the following command:
find /usr -name ’vscan-antivir.so’
find /usr -name ’vscan-antivir.conf*’
