Dr.Web Daemon has two scan modes:
•scan of chunks received from the socket (remote scan mode);
•scan of files on the disk (local scan mode).
In the remote scan mode, client sends data to be scanned to Dr.Web Daemon through a socket. Dr.Web Daemon can scan both anonymous memory and memory mapped objects with only one difference - in logging. This mode enables scanning of files without read access but is less efficient than the local scan mode.
Local scan mode is easier to use and provides better performance since client sends to Dr.Web Daemon only a file path instead of the file. For the reason that clients can be located on different computers, the path must be specified in relation to the actual location of Dr.Web Daemon.

Local scan mode requires careful configuration of user privileges. Dr.Web Daemon must have read access to each file that is to be scanned. To perform Cure and Delete actions to files in mailboxes, you must also permit write access. |

Note that to enable correct operation of Dr.Web Daemon as a part of Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services, the component must be started under the root superuser account. If required, name of the user with whose privileges Dr.Web Daemon must run is set as the User parameter value in Dr.Web Daemon settings. In addition, you can configure user and their group used on module startup. For that purpose, edit mmc-file of Dr.Web Monitor if it is used for management of Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services components. |
