In the process of upgrading my qmail-scanner from an earlier (much earlier) version to
1.12 I noticed something that I thought might be worth reporting here. Please forgive
me if this has been posted already, I could not find it during my attempts.
In the configure script, the section:
====
if test -x $dir/kavscanner
then
if [ "`echo $FIND_SCANNERS|grep ' kavscanner '`" != "" ]; then
if [ "`$dir/kavscanner $TMP_DIR 2>&1|grep -i test`" != "" ];
then
AVPSCAN="${AVPSCAN:-$dir/kavscanner}"
INSTALLED_SCANNERS="$INSTALLED_SCANNERS
kavscanner"
fi
fi
========
Spawns a shell that calls kaspersky's kavscanner to scan the temp directory. The
problem is that without a -Y command line parameter, the kavscanner promps the use for
an action to be taken on the test virus file (EICAR-Test-file) placed in the /tmp
directory. Since this "prompting" is taking place in the background as a child
process, there is no way to answer the prompt and tell kavscanner what to do.
Simply changing that section to:
=========
if test -x $dir/kavscanner
then
if [ "`echo $FIND_SCANNERS|grep ' kavscanner '`" != "" ]; then
if [ "`$dir/kavscanner -Y $TMP_DIR 2>&1|grep -i test`" != "" ];
then
AVPSCAN="${AVPSCAN:-$dir/kavscanner}"
INSTALLED_SCANNERS="$INSTALLED_SCANNERS
kavscanner"
fi
fi
=========
Hope this is useful to someone.
Keep up the great work, Jason...
