[clamav-users] OnAccessExcludePath being ignored.

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

Ged, all,

Sorry about that.  We have to make a conscious decision to remove the automatic "Security group" marker from Bugzilla tickets, and while we try to make a habit to do so - we forgot on this one.

https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12306 should now be viewable.

    Hmmmm.  Bugs or no bugs it seems rather willful having both of these:
    
    OnAccessIncludePath /var/log
    OnAccessExcludePath /var/log
    
    and I'm not surprised that things seem a bit insane if you do. :)
    
    Unfortunately on bugzilla, issue 12306 itself is restricted access.
    Because of that I didn't even know of its existence - I've trawled
    through every issue listed in the components pages at
    
    https://bugzilla.clamav.net/describecomponents.cgi?product=ClamAV
    
    and AFAICT it doesn't appear in any of them.  So I don't think I can
    add anything useful to what I've already said.  To repeat what I've
    already said, I think scanning /var/log isn't a great idea.
