### On-access scanning

One of the interesting features of `clamd` is on-access scanning based on the Dazuko module, available from `http://dazuko.org/`. This module is not required to run clamd - furthermore, you shouldn't run Dazuko on production systems. At the moment Dazuko is avaliable for Linux and FreeBSD, but the following information only covers Linux.

    	$ tar zxpvf dazuko-a.b.c.tar.gz
    	$ cd dazuko-a.b.c
    	$ make dazuko
    	or
    	$ make dazuko-smp (for smp kernels)
    	$ su
    	# insmod dazuko.o
    	# cp dazuko.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc
    	# depmod -a

Depending on your Linux distribution you may need to add a "dazuko" entry to /etc/modules or run the module during system's startup by adding

    	/sbin/modprobe dazuko

to some startup file. You must also create a new device:

    	$ cat /proc/devices | grep dazuko
    	254 dazuko
    	$ su -c "mknod -m 600 /dev/dazuko c 254 0"

Now configure Clamuko in `clamd.conf` and read the 5.3 section.
