Syslog... Syslog settings:
WebGate sends messages for all important operations to the syslog daemon. You
may specify the facility and priority for these messages. Default is:
SyslogFacility user
SyslogPriority notice
These values apply even if the option is not active.
GnuPG... GnuPG settings:
The Updater can check the updates for authenticity using GnuPG. For more
information, see
Verifying Updates Authenticity with GnuPG – Page 49. You must
specify the path to GnuPG binary files. For example:
GnuPGBinary /usr/local/bin/gpg
You can also add other options using
GnuPGOptions
, depending on the specific
GnuPG installation. This is usually not necessary. For security reasons, both
settings are by default deactivated.
Updater
Keeps
Backups
The Internet Updater replaces installed files with newer versions, when updates
are available. Even if the program is testing the new files, you might want to keep
backups of earlier versions.
When activating this option, your existent files will be moved in the newly created
subdirectories of
/usr/lib/AntiVir
, named
updater-backup-YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS .
If you activate the backup function of the Internet Updater, you should check this
directory regularly and manually delete old versions as the size increases.

4.5.3 Configuration File avwebgate.acl
WebGate implements an access control scheme that is a subset of Squid’s. All the
supported features are described in the
Manual
file contained in the program’s
package.
Using this feature it is possible to set up rules to allow tunneling for certain types
of requests and responses. This is useful for supporting streaming Internet
content or user agents, that require using HTTP range requests.
