Newbie Question,

I use the clamscan util to recursively scan a given filesystem.

Am I missing  something about how to get clamdscan to recurse... Because I
cannot find a setting to get it to recurse even one dir level without hard
coding something like /myfs/*/* ... ?

It ignores the "-r" from clamscan.

I'd like to scan a multi-TB filesystem periodically and clamscan will take
forever, so looking at clamdscan possibly.

Thanks
Sean
