@ETCDIR@ /anti-spam/spamcatcher.conf
The number of files within this directory is equal to the number of different recommended
settings of the anti-spam engine. The default configuration file corresponds to the configuration
file ‘spamcatcher.conf.faster’. In order to use any of the files, replace the default anti-spam
configuration file ‘spamcatcher.conf’ with the chosen one and reload the ESETS daemon .
6.5. 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 THE 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_enabled’ must also be enabled 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.
6.6. Web Interface
The Web Interface allows user-friendly configuration, administration and license management
of ESET Security systems. This module is a separate agent and must be explicitly enabled. To
quickly configure the Web Interface, set the following options in the ESETS configuration file and
then restart the ESETS daemon:
[wwwi]
agent_enabled = yes
listen_addr = address
listen_port =
port
username =
name
password = pass
Substitute your own values for the parameters in italics and direct your browser to ’https://
address:port’ (note the https). Login with ’username/pass’. Basic usage instructions can be found
