Hi all,
I'm investigating clamav as a solution for a couple hundred linux
boxes. We need onaccess scanning but I'm running into an issue. For
clamd to do onaccess scanning it needs to be run as root to use the
inotify components, but since we export our NFS volumes with
root_squash, it doesn't have permissions to view a user's home directory
contents.
Am I missing something?
clamd needs to run as root to scan arbitrary files on the system. Try
scanning home directories on the NFS host instead, and exclude the home
directory tree from scanning on the clients if you have reason to scan
elsewhere on those systems.
