Dear all
I have installed clamav 0.98.1 on Linux version 3.12.9-1-ARCH x86_64
Clamscan and Clamdscan are working perfectly, also the update via
Freshclam is ok.
However I have a problem with ScanOnAccess:
Using the following clamd.conf file:
LogFile /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
LogTime yes
PidFile /run/clamav/clamd.pid
TemporaryDirectory /tmp
LocalSocket /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock
User root
ScanOnAccess yes
OnAccessMaxFileSize 0
OnAccessIncludePath /home/pc
OnAccessExcludePath /home/pc/Downloads
results in log file entries as follows:
-> ScanOnAccess: Protecting directory '/home/pc'
-> ERROR: ScanOnAccess: Can't exclude path /home/pc/Downloads
-> SelfCheck: Database status OK.
Here I have 2 issues:
1) I do not understand why the OnAccessExcludePath is rejected, as the
directory is existing.
2) When I access a test virus (eicar.com) nothing happens, there is no
entry in the log file created.
Fanotify is installed and actived, since when I start Clamd as user, in
the Clamav log File shows the following error:
-> ERROR: ScanOnAccess: fanotify_init failed: Operation not permitted
-> ScanOnAccess: clamd must be started by root
which has been solved by the entry: "User root"
Since searching the Web does not give a solution I need some support.
Can someone help me here?
Many thanks in advance.
