Configuration
Avira GmbH
Avira AntiVir UNIX Server
41
You may operate single shares using separate configuration files or you can use the same
configuration file for all scanners at once. If no configuration file is specified for the
scanner, it will be used in the default configuration.
Configuration file vscan-antivir.conf
The entries in
vscan-antivir.conf
are described in more detail in the order of their
appearance. They can be roughly divided into two categories:
•
samba-vscan options, which can be similarly supported by all Backends;
•
AntiVir-specific options, which operate specific functions of this Backend.
It is recommended to make only settings specific to samba-vscan in the configuration file
vscan-antivir.conf
, while the settings for AntiVir should be made in
avsamba.conf
. Not all
relevant settings for the AntiVir Samba Scanner can be made in the configuration file
vscan-antivir.conf
, as some key-words might not be integrated (yet).
max file size
Maximum file size:
samba-vscan can skip files when scanning if they exceed a certain size. If the option is set
to
0
(default), all files are scanned.
max file size = 0
verbose file
logging
Logging file access:
samba-vscan can report every file access in a log (if this option is set to
yes
) or it can
report only the access to files in which it detects a virus or unwanted program (
no
). The
default is
no
.
verbose file logging = no
scan on open/
scan on close
Scanning files when opened and/or closed:
samba-vscan scans files for various events when opened and/or closed (Default: both
cases).
scan on open = yes
scan on close = yes
deny access on
error/
deny access on
minor error
Denying access to files:
samba-vscan can deny access not only when it finds a virus or unwanted program in a file,
but also when an error occurs during file processing. This option can be set for different
error levels:
If the Scanner itself is not available, this is considered an error.
If the Scanner, although available, cannot scan files, this is considered a minor error.
As this situation allows malware to infiltrate the system, access is blocked by default for
this case.
deny access on error = yes
deny access on minor error = yes
send warning
message
Notifying file access denial:
samba-vscan can notify remote users of a fileserver every time access is blocked, using
pop-ups (Default:
yes
).
send warning message = yes
concerning file
action (infected
file action)
File actions:
Apart from blocking the access to concerning files, samba-vscan is also able to perform
further actions:
