169.SH "Name"
170vfs_scannedonly \- Ensures that only files that have been scanned for viruses are visible and accessible to the end user\&.
171.SH "Synopsis"
172.fam C
173.HP \w'\ 'u
174\FCvfs objects = scannedonly\F[]
175.fam
176.SH "DESCRIPTION"
177.PP
178This VFS module is part of the
179\fBsamba\fR(8)
180suite\&.
181.PP
182The
183\FCvfs_scannedonly\F[]
184VFS 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\&.
185.PP
186Scannedonly 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
187\FC\&.scanned:\F[]\&. The Samba module simply looks if such a
188\FC\&.scanned:\F[]
189file 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\&.
190.PP
191So 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\&.
192.PP
193If 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
194\FC\&.virus:\F[]\&. Files with the
195\FC\&.virus:\F[]
196prefix are never shown to the user and all access is denied\&.
197.PP
198This module is stackable\&.
199.SH "CONFIGURATION"
200.PP
201\FCvfs_scannedonly\F[]
202relies on a anti\-virus scanning daemon that listens on the scannedonly socket (unix domain socket or UDP socket)\&.
203.SH "OPTIONS"
204.PP
205scannedonly:domain_socket = True
206.RS 4
207Whether to use a unix domain socket or not (false reverts to use udp)
208.RE
209.PP
210scannedonly:socketname = /var/lib/scannedonly/scan
211.RS 4
212The location of the unix domain socket to connect to
213.RE
214.PP
215scannedonly:portnum = 2020
216.RS 4
217The udp port number to connect to
218.RE
219.PP
220scannedonly:scanhost = localhost
221.RS 4
222When using UDP the host that runs the scanning daemon (this host needs access to the files!)
223.RE
224.PP
225scannedonly:show_special_files = True
226.RS 4
227Whether sockets, devices and fifo\'s (all not scanned for viruses) should be visible to the user
228.RE
229.PP
230scannedonly:rm_hidden_files_on_rmdir = True
231.RS 4
232Whether files that are not visible (\FC\&.scanned:\F[]
233files,
234\FC\&.failed:\F[]
235files and
236\FC\&.virus: \F[]
237files) should be deleted if the user tries to remove the directory\&. If false, the user will get the "directory is not empty" error\&.
238.RE
239.PP
240scannedonly:hide_nonscanned_files = True
241.RS 4
242If 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)\&.
243.RE
244.PP
245scannedonly:scanning_message = is being scanned for viruses
246.RS 4
247If 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\&.
248.RE
249.PP
250scannedonly:recheck_time_open = 50
251.RS 4
252If 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
253\FC\&.scanned:\F[]
254file\&. For small files that are scanned by the daemon within the time (tries * time) the behavior will be just like on\-access scanning\&.
255.RE
256.PP
257scannedonly:recheck_tries_open = 100
258.RS 4
259See recheck_time_open\&.
260.RE
261.PP
262scannedonly:recheck_time_readdir = 50
263.RS 4
264If 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\&.
265.RE
266.PP
267scannedonly:recheck_tries_readdir = 20
268.RS 4
269See recheck_time_readdir\&.
270.RE
271.PP
272scannedonly:allow_nonscanned_files = False
273.RS 4
274Allow access to non\-scanned files\&. The daemon is notified, however, and special files such as
275\FC\&.scanned:\F[]
276files\&.
277\FC\&.virus:\F[]
278files and
279\FC\&.failed:\F[]
280files are not listed\&.

317.SH "AUTHOR"
318.PP
319The 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\&.
