Setting Up File Scanning Parameters For The Aveserver And Aveclient Components - KAPERSKY Anti-Virus 5.0 for Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD File Server Administrator's Manual

Actions taken with these two kinds of object are different too; they are separated
in different sections in the configuration file. For simple objects –
[scanner.object] section, for compound ones – [scanner.container].
Actions taken to self-extracting archives are ambiguous. If the archive
itself is infected, it is treated as a simple object, but if the objects inside
it are infected then it is considered a compound object. Accordingly,
actions that are taken to the archive in these cases are defined by the
parameters set in different sections of the configuration file!
You can use the following methods to select an action for a file:
Set the actions in the configuration file kav4unix.conf, if they are
supposed to be used as default actions (sections [scanner.object] and
[scanner.container], for more details refer to section A.2 on page 58).
Specify the actions in the alternative configuration file and use it when
launching the component.
Set them for the current session using the command line keys when
launching the kavscanner component (see section A.3 on page 63).
The syntax is the same for actions to be taken with either simple or compound
objects (for more details refer to section A.2 on page 58, sections
[scanner.object] and [scanner.container]).

and the aveclient client program.
The aveserver component is launched during the operating system start-up, and
upon the client's request it performs anti-virus processing of files using the anti-
virus databases.

You can specify the actions remotely using the Kaspersky Anti-
®
Virus On-Demand Scanner tab of the Webmin program (see
Figure 4).
If no configuration file is specified in the command line when
launching the component, then the operation parameters will
be taken from the file kav4unix.conf. You do not have to
specify this file expressly when launching the component.
