samba - Oct 1999 - Virus scanner not scanning files on samba share

Right now, on our NT servers, I scan the users' directories nightly for
viruses. I've set up samba 2.05a on a linux server (rh 6.1). I've moved
a
couple of users over for testing. Everything seems to be working great.
However, I cannot get our virus scanner (Dr Solomon) to scan files on the
samba shares. It recognizes the share, recognizes the files, but reports 0
out of nnn were scanned. Anyone else had a go at something like this?

Check out http://www.kasperskylab.ru/eng/products/linux.html for the
avp anti-virus program for linux. It scans for dos,windows and office
macro viruses on your shares on your linux/samba box. I've been using
it for a month and has wiped out our macro virus problem. I just set
it up as a cron job.

You do have to rename the definition files to all uppercase when you
get it.
