Product Overview
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Samba Servers software application is designed to
 perform anti-virus scanning of objects for Samba servers running Linux or
 FreeBSD operating systems.
 The application accomplishes two-level scanning of server file systems both in
 real-time and in the on-demand scanning mode. If malicious code is detected
 Kaspersky Anti-Virus can cure or block the infected objects efficiently in order
 to prevent further spreading of epidemics.

Product Installation & Upgrade
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 IMPORTANT! Upgrade option is not supported by this product. If you have previous
 version of the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.0 for Samba Servers installed, please
 uninstall it first before installing new version.



General Issues & Workarounds
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 has a bug in Webmin 1.180-3 which prevents work with
    3rd party modules. Thus it is impossible to use a Webmin module included in
    the Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Samba Server distribution. There are the
    following workarounds for this issue:
    * Either install original version of Webmin from www.webmin.com.
    * Or execute the following commands after installation of the Kaspersky
      Anti-Virus for Samba Server:
	# cd /usr/local/share/webmin
	# ln -s ../../../share/webmin/web-lib-funcs.pl
	# ln -s ../../../share/webmin/ui-lib.pl
	# ln -s ../../../share/webmin/web-lib.pl
	# cp /usr/local/share/webmin/kavsamba/config /etc/webmin/kavsamba/config

  * Possible problems using an extended set of the anti-virus databases. 
    While using extended databases the Anti-Virus starts detecting even programs,
    which are not viruses proper but still match the malware criteria for the
    corresponding set of databases. It should be noted that a program detected
    using the extended databases will also be considered malware. The application
    will apply to it the same actions it uses with malware. The anti-virus
    verdict for the program will include the phrase not-a-virus, so that the
    verdict looks like: Brick1.ex INFECTED not-a-virus:Joke.Win32.Brick.
    The Action=remove setting may be a particular problem when using extended
    databases. It should be noted that some programs detected as malware in that
    mode may be used by system administrators for their own purpose being
    trusted software allowed on a computer. Thus, it is important to exercise
    extreme caution using that setting with extended anti-virus databases. We
    recommend enabling automatic file backup (through the BackupPath variable
    in the product configuration file) whenever it is used.
    If a system administrator wishes to exclude a specific program from detection,
    s/he should use the ExcludeDirs setting adding there a full path to the
    program to be excluded from anti-virus scanning.
