[clamav-users] Clamav with a samba server ?

[Edouard Guigné]

Hello again,

I read the docs from the links, but may you please help me to understand 
what 'on access' scanning will do / can do ?

I installed clamav on my centos 7 box, but not yet start the clamav service.

I have set in /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf
ScanOnAccess yes
OnAccessIncludePath /home/usertest

When I will start the clamav servce :

Does clamav will scan only /home/usertest ?

What will happen if clamav detect virus or malware already present in 
/home/usertest ?
Will it quarantine the infected files ?

What will happen if the user try to copy an infected files in his 
/home/usertest (via samba) ?
Will it be impossible for him to copy the infected files ?

I would like to reassure before start the clamav service, and avoid any 
users complaints against me.

Best Regards,

EdG
