+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>This VFS module is part of the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+ <para>The <command>vfs_scannedonly</command> VFS module ensures that
+ only files that have been scanned for viruses are visible and accessible
+ to the end user. If non-scanned files are found an anti-virus scanning
+ daemon is notified. The anti-virus scanning daemon is not part of the
+ Samba suite.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Scannedonly comes in two parts: a samba vfs module and (one or
+ more) daemons. The daemon scans files. If a certain file is clean,
+ a second file is created with prefix <filename>.scanned:</filename>.
+ The Samba module simply looks if such a <filename>.scanned:</filename>
+ file exists, and is newer than the pertinent file. If this is the case,
+ the file is shown to the user. If this is not the case, the file is not
+ returned in a directory listing (configurable), and cannot be opened
+ (configurable). The Samba vfs module will notify the daemon to scan
+ this file.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>So what happens for the user in the default configuration. The
+ first time a directory is listed, it shows files as 'file is being
+ scanned for viruses, but after the first time all files are shown.
+ There is a utility scannedonly_prescan that can help you to prescan
+ all directories. When new files are written the daemon is notified
+ immediately after the file is complete.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>If a virus is found by the daemon, a file with a warning message
+ is created in the directory of the user, a warning is sent to the logs,
+ and the file is renamed to have prefix <filename>.virus:</filename>.
+ Files with the <filename>.virus:</filename> prefix are never shown to
+ the user and all access is denied.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>This module is stackable.</para>
