Jens,

The exclude path requires actual file or directory names.  The glob (asterisk) 
won't work.  You will have to list an ExcludePath line for each directory or 
file you don't want to scan.

Micah

Hi,

is it possible to exclude files and folders starting with a “.” when using on 
access scanning? We use the following configuration for on access scanning:

ScanOnAccess yes
OnAccessIncludePath /home/user1
OnAccessIncludePath /home/user2
OnAccessExtraScanning yes

I have tried the following configurations:

ExcludePath ^/home/user1/\.*
ExcludePath ^/home/user1/\..*
ExcludePath ^/home/user1/\.

(and many more that I don’t remember) but they did not work. Even

ExcludePath .*

does not work, so I might be doing something else wrong.

By the way, is it possible to hide the messages

Jul 18 13:32:54 <redacted> clamd[7249]: ScanOnAccess: Performing additional 
scanning on file '/home/user1/.test11'

when OnAccessExtraScanning is enabled?

Best regards,
Jens
