[clamav-users] OnAccessExtraScanning not working?

[Nick]

Helo Micah,

Thanks for looking at this. I can confirm clamonacc will detect the test eicar file when it is touched after download.

My issue lies in that I wanted the file to be detected on creation rather than needing to be be touched/read. The man page for an clamd.conf says this re the ExtraScanning option:

"Toggles extra scanning and notifications when a file or directory
is created or moved."

Which lead me to believe that would work, but it doesn't seem to.


Additionally man clamonacc gives 'No manual entry for clamonacc'. clamonacc --help reports version 0.102.4

Best
Nick
