Check Contents

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, review tasks under "View", "Scheduled Tasks".
With the System Administrator's assistance, determine which task is intended as the regularly scheduled scan task.
Click on the task and review the details under "Task Details for".

If "Next run" does not specify "every 1 week", or more frequently, 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 "/opt/NAI/LinuxShield/bin/nails task --list".

If the return does not show a task for the LinuxShield On-Demand Scan, this is a finding.
