special configuration filename where the individual scanning rules will be stored. In the example
shown here, the special configuration file is called ‘esets_dac_spec.cfg’ and is located within the
ESETS configuration directory (This directory is based on your operating system. Please see page
6).
[dac]
agent_enabled = yes
event_mask = ”open”
ctl_incl = ”/home”
action_av = ”scan”
user_config = ”esets_dac_spec.cfg”
Once the 'user_config' file parameter is specified within the [dac] section, the ‘esets_dac_spec.
cfg’ file must be created in the ESETS configuration directory. Finally, add the desired scanning
rules.
[ username ]
action_av = ”reject”
At the top of the special section, enter the username to which the individual rules will be
applied. This configuration will allow all other users attempting to access the file-system to
be processed normally. i.e., all file system objects accessed by other users will be scanned for
infiltrations, except for the user ‘username’, whose access will be rejected (blocked).
6.3. Samples Submission System
The Samples submission system is an intelligent ThreatSense.NET technology that collects
infected objects which have been detected by advanced heuristics and delivers them to the
samples submission system server. All virus samples collected by the sample submission system
will be processed by the ESET virus laboratory and if necessary, added to the ESET virus signature
database.
NOTE: ACCORDING TO OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT, BY ENABLING SAMPLE SUBMISSION SYSTEM YOU ARE AGREEING TO ALLOW
THE COMPUTER AND/OR PLATFORM ON WHICH THE
ESETS_DAEMON
IS INSTALLED TO COLLECT DATA (WHICH MAY INCLUDE
PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AND/OR THE USER OF THE COMPUTER) AND SAMPLES OF NEWLY DETECTED VIRUSES OR
OTHER THREATS AND SEND THEM TO OUR VIRUS LAB. THIS FEATURE IS TURNED OFF BY DEFAULT. ALL INFORMATION COLLECTED
WILL BE USED ONLY TO ANALYZE NEW THREATS AND WILL NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
In order to activate the Samples Submission System, the samples submission system cache
must be initialized. This can be achieved by enabling the ‘samples_enabled’ option in the [global]
section of the ESETS configuration file. To allow for the actual delivery of samples to the ESET
virus laboratory servers, the parameter ‘samples_send_period’ must also be specified in the same
section.
In addition, users can choose to provide the ESET virus laboratory team with supplementary
information using the ‘samples_provider_mail’ and/or ‘samples_provider_country’ configuration
options. The information collected using these options will assist in providing the ESET team with
an overview about a given infiltration which may be spreading over the Internet.
For more information on the Samples Submission System, refer to the esets_daemon (8) man
page.
