Hello list,
I was just wondering if anyone is using anti-virus software on their
Samba server. I have protection on my clients, but I want to run software on the
server too. I've looked at McAfee's Virus Scan, but as far as I can
tell, it only uses "on-demand" scanning, meaning I have to trigger it
from the command line, or run a cron job. I would like to have something that is
real-time, and detects an infected immediately, without my interaction. This is
how the McAfee AV software works on the client PC's running Windows. Anyone
know of a similar product?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi.... I would recommend using SOPHOS (www.sophos.com). This is a very stable and robust antivirus package that runs on MANY platforms, including linux, (and even VMS). You can schedule it with a cron job, etc. They have a 3 month eval at www.sophos.com. -Ken> > This is a MIME message.

Anyone know of a similar product?Brian, I don't think you are going to find anything to do it in real time. I have looked into this in the past and found only schedule based products like mcafee. The Mcafee product works okay.. it can be a real resource hog however when it is running. Make sure you schedule it for late at night. For a Unix AV product to scan in real time, it would need to have hooks into the kernel to catch all file writes/reads/open/closes. There aren't any products that I am aware of that can do that. Mike
F-Prot has a product like that, although I haven't tried it since you have
to pay for it. But it might be what you are looking for

Trend ServerProtect does this - realtime scanning. You buy the product once
and can then install on all your servers - Windows/Linux/Netware. Only
caveat is that you need a recent kernel which is why we have not actually
put it onto our Samba servers and are using RAV (which is not real-time but
incredibly cheap) for the time being.
You can download a 30 day trial I believe:

Take a look at the samba-vscan project, which you can have do on-access scanning for you via samba (VFS modules). (you should eb able to find it quite easily searching on freshmeat.net) I have tested it with sophos (see http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/mandrake8.2/samba-2.2.4-vscan/ for RPMs for Mandrake 8.2). There are a number of supported scanners, including kaspersky, trend, etc, but IIRC, McAfee it not supported. Buchan> I would recommend using SOPHOS (www.sophos.com).

I have mine set to do incremental updates every 30 minutes. The other thing that I like about RAV is that it is very easy to set up the mail server version to scan shares on your samba network. $300US is well worth the money for the excellent product. -- Greg J.
