Hi We have a need to have OnAccessScanning on our RHEL servers but with some path exclusions.
So as I read the manuals etc it seems I have to use the OnAccessIncludePath rather than the OnAccessMountPath. So the filesystem layout is as such :- / /boot /home /var /var/log /var/tmp /var/log/audit So I have set up the following IncludePath entries in scan.conf OnAccessIncludePath /boot OnAccessIncludePath /dev OnAccessIncludePath /etc OnAccessIncludePath /home OnAccessIncludePath /opt OnAccessIncludePath /usr OnAccessIncludePath /var When then starting the clamd:scan service all path seem to be ok apart from /var which gave the following error ERROR: ScanOnAccess: Could not watch path '/var', No space left on device. So I increased the number in /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches from 8192 to 32768 ( Only 21551 total directories in the whole of the server so should cover it ) So now it doesn't give me the message about space but gives this message :- ERROR: ScanOnAccess: Could not watch path '/var', Success And is still not monitoring for anything under /var ( eicar test files not being picked up. ) All other paths seem to be working ok. Does anybody know where I am going wrong ?
