 Clamuko
28e73e95
 </H2>

     Clamuko is a special thread in <I>clamd</I> that performs on-access
     scanning under Linux. It was implemented as a thread in clamd due
     to the Dazuko implementation. Client (clamuko) - server (clamd) model is
     currently not supported by Dazuko. However there are some benefits of
     the current implementation - clamuko is sharing the internal virus
     database with clamd and it's updated with the RELOAD command. <B>You
     must obey the following important principles when using clamuko:</B>

 <UL>
5def21ff
 <LI>Always stop the daemon cleanly - using the QUIT command or
 	      SIGTERM signal. In other case you can lose your access
 	      to protected files until the system is restarted.
28e73e95
 </LI>
5def21ff
 <LI>Never protect a directory your mail-scanner software
 	      uses for attachment unpacking. Access to all infected
 	      files will be automagically blocked and the scanner (even clamd)
 	      won't be able to detect a virus. <B>The infected mail will
 	      be delivered.</B>
28e73e95
     
 </LI>
 </UL>
5def21ff
     You need to enable clamuko in <I>clamav.conf</I>. To protect the /home
     directory enable the following directive:
     <PRE>
 	ClamukoIncludePath /home
 </PRE>
     To protect the whole system:
     <PRE>
 	ClamukoIncludePath /
 	ClamukoExcludePath /proc
 	ClamukoExcludePath /temporary/dir/of/your/mail/scanning/software
 </PRE>
     You can use clamuko to protect file access on Samba/Netatalk (but far
     more better and safe idea is to use the <B>samba-vscan</B> software
     <A HREF="node40.html#samba-vscan">5.17</A>. NFS is not supported (Dazuko doesn't intercept NFS
     access calls). Yet another idea - you may build a database that contains
     signatures for popular exploits and setup clamd to protect your server
     from script-kiddies.
