... a central server where clamd is running and a remote client where I have clamd.conf pointed to the central server, I can run clamdscan on the remote client, it scans and finds the test file I have created on it. I am now trying to perform an On Access Scan on the remote client, from what I have read about clamonacc it requires clamd to be running alongside it. I was hoping that because I can get clamdscan to run on the remote client the same would be true for clamonacc, but this is not working for me. Running the command `sudo clamonacc` results in a command on found error
It's possible, if unlikely, that the clamonacc binary simply isn't on the search path. More likely, I guess, clamonacc hasn't been installed.
I'm assuming clamonacc is included with clamd
If it came from a distro package, it depends on who packaged it.
, but clamd is not installed on the client instance as per the documentation I found on setting up network mode (something about clamd fussing about being pointed at a remote server).
I don't know the documentation to which you refer. I use remote clamd instances and I don't think of them as being especially fussy.
So at the moment I'm curious if what I am trying to do is possible and if so if I am missing a step in the setup process?
I believe what you want to do is possible, see for example https://blog.clamav.net/2019/09/understanding-and-transitioning-to.html but it might not have been forseen by the people who packaged ClamAV for your distribution, or perhaps it was forseen but discounted as a low priority. If you build from the sources I think you'll get what you need (although I haven't yet seen a 'man' page for clamonacc). -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
