[clamav-users] RHEL ScanonAccess includepaths

[CROFT Ian]

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 ?

Cheers

Ian
