Nobody want virus realtimeFILEprotection?
How do you keep your shares clean? - all the time.

The lazy man in me says 'viruses are a windows problem, let them deal with it'

The wishful thinker in me says 'we don't get no viruses'

At any rate, I believe sysadmins work on the principle that if you keep the viruses out of the mail, it is very unlikely that any others will find your system.

Also, if you are administering the domain effectively, then all the important stuff tends to be held server side, and hence will not suffer from the viruses. Because nothing important is held on the terminals, if something goes wrong you can just wipe it off and start again.

The wishful thinker in me tends to agree, but the sceptic core keeps nagging me with recent news stories about crackers now going specifically for Solaris and Unix-type servers.
The reporters persist in calling them 'hackers', though, and that leads me to a slight misquotation from the Bible (about news reporters): 'Fear them, for they know not what they do'.

The clamav install from pagefault lets you configure a system virus check.

Well,
You can do a system-scan once a day or so but that's not
realtimescanning! Have you ever had a loveletter in your
sambashares that destroy all your pictures?
But I can see that everybody just turn the blind eye...
Just can't believe that nobody have dealed with it...

.. well I run desktop a/v as well as fileserver and email server a/v - some may say overkill but ...

ClamAV supports on-access scanning via the Clamuko options at the end of the clamav.conf file (http://www.clamav.net/doc/0.70/html/node13.html).

Clamuko is designed to hook into the Dazuko file system driver which is not yet stable in its 2.2 incarnation (with Clamuko itself being development only, not of production standard).

Have a play with these options if you wish but for now I am sticking with my current setup until these other projects get to production quality.
