<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This VFS module is part of the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
<para>The <command>vfs_scannedonly</command> VFS module ensures that
only files that have been scanned for viruses are visible and accessible
to the end user. If non-scanned files are found an anti-virus scanning
daemon is notified. The anti-virus scanning daemon is not part of the
Samba suite.
</para>
<para>Scannedonly comes in two parts: a samba vfs module and (one or
more) daemons. The daemon scans files. If a certain file is clean,
a second file is created with prefix <filename>.scanned:</filename>.
The Samba module simply looks if such a <filename>.scanned:</filename>
file exists, and is newer than the pertinent file. If this is the case,
the file is shown to the user. If this is not the case, the file is not
returned in a directory listing (configurable), and cannot be opened
(configurable). The Samba vfs module will notify the daemon to scan
this file.
</para>
<para>So what happens for the user in the default configuration. The
first time a directory is listed, it shows files as 'file is being
scanned for viruses, but after the first time all files are shown.
There is a utility scannedonly_prescan that can help you to prescan
all directories. When new files are written the daemon is notified
immediately after the file is complete.
</para>
<para>If a virus is found by the daemon, a file with a warning message
is created in the directory of the user, a warning is sent to the logs,
and the file is renamed to have prefix <filename>.virus:</filename>.
Files with the <filename>.virus:</filename> prefix are never shown to
the user and all access is denied.
</para>
<para>This module is stackable.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>CONFIGURATION</title>
<para><command>vfs_scannedonly</command> relies on a anti-virus scanning
daemon that listens on the scannedonly socket (unix domain socket or UDP
socket).
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>OPTIONS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>scannedonly:domain_socket = True </term>
<listitem>
<para>Whether to use a unix domain socket or not (false reverts
to use udp)
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>scannedonly:socketname = /var/lib/scannedonly/scan</term>
<listitem>
<para>The location of the unix domain socket to connect to</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>scannedonly:portnum = 2020</term>
<listitem>
<para>The udp port number to connect to
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:scanhost = localhost</term>
<listitem>
<para>
When using UDP the host that runs the scanning daemon (this host
needs access to the files!)
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:show_special_files = True</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Whether sockets, devices and fifo's (all not scanned for
viruses) should be visible to the user
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:rm_hidden_files_on_rmdir = True</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Whether files that are not visible (<filename>.scanned:</filename>
files, <filename>.failed:</filename> files and <filename>.virus:
</filename> files) should be deleted if the user tries to remove
the directory. If false, the user will get the "directory is not
empty" error.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:hide_nonscanned_files = True</term>
<listitem>
<para>
If false, all non-scanned files are visible in directory listings.
If such files are found in a directory listing the scanning daemon
is notified that scanning is required. Access to non-scanned files
is still denied (see scannedonly:allow_nonscanned_files).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:scanning_message = is being scanned for
viruses</term>
<listitem>
<para>
If non-scanned files are hidden
(if scannedonly:hide_nonscanned_files = True), a fake 0 byte file
is shown. The filename is the original filename with the message
as suffix.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:recheck_time_open = 50</term>
<listitem>
<para>
If a non-scanned file is opened, the vfs module will wait
recheck_tries_open times for recheck_time_open milliseconds for
the scanning daemon to create a <filename>.scanned:</filename>
file. For small files that are scanned by the daemon within the
time (tries * time) the behavior will be just like on-access
scanning.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:recheck_tries_open = 100</term>
<listitem>
<para>
See recheck_time_open.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:recheck_time_readdir = 50</term>
<listitem>
<para>
If a non-scanned file is in a directory listing the vfs module
notifies the daemon (once for all files that need scanning in
that directory), and waits recheck_tries_readdir times for
recheck_time_readdir milliseconds. Only used when
hide_nonscanned_files is false.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:recheck_tries_readdir = 20</term>
<listitem>
<para>
See recheck_time_readdir.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>scannedonly:allow_nonscanned_files = False</term>
<listitem>
<para>
Allow access to non-scanned files. The daemon is notified,
however, and special files such as <filename>.scanned:</filename>
files. <filename>.virus:</filename> files and
<filename>.failed:</filename> files are not listed.
</para>

<title>CAVEATS</title>
<para>This is not true on-access scanning. However, it is very fast
for files that have been scanned already.
</para>

<title>VERSION</title>
<para>This man page is correct for version 3.6.0 of the Samba suite.
</para>

<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Scannedonly was
developed for Samba by Olivier Sessink. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
