Clamuko
</H2>
    Clamuko is a special thread in <code>clamd</code> that performs on-access
    scanning under Linux and FreeBSD and shares internal virus database
    with the daemon. <B>You must follow some important rules when
    using it:</B>
    
<UL>
<LI>Always stop the daemon cleanly - using the SHUTDOWN command or
	      the
<BR>
SIGTERM signal. In other case you can lose access
	      to protected files until the system is restarted.
</LI>
<LI>Never protect the directory your mail-scanner software
	      uses for attachment unpacking. Access to all infected
	      files will be automatically blocked and the scanner (including
	      <code>clamd</code>!) will not be able to detect any viruses. In the
	      result <B>all infected mails may be delivered.</B>
    
</LI>
</UL>
    For example, to protect the whole system add the following lines to
    <code>clamd.conf</code>:
    <PRE>
	ClamukoScanOnAccess
	ClamukoIncludePath /
	ClamukoExcludePath /proc
	ClamukoExcludePath /temporary/dir/of/your/mail/scanning/software
</PRE>
    You can also use clamuko to protect files on Samba/Netatalk but a far
    more better and safe idea is to use the <B>samba-vscan</B> module.
    NFS is not supported because Dazuko doesn't intercept NFS access calls.
