From a desktop browser window, connect to the McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux (VSEL) Monitor (WEB interface) of the Linux system being reviewed and logon with the nails user account. In the VSEL WEB Monitor, under "Configure", select "On-Access Settings". Under "Extension Base Scanning", verify the "Scan all files" radio button is selected. If the radio button "Scan all files" is not selected, this is a finding. To validate without the Web interface, access the Linux system being reviewed, either at the console or by a SSH connection. At the command line, navigate to /var/opt/NAI/LinuxShield/etc. Enter the command "grep "allFiles" nailsd.cfg" If the response given is "nailsd.profile.OAS.allFiles: false" or is "nailsd.profile.OAS.allFiles: true" with a preceding #, this is a finding.
