samba - Dec 2002 - Antivirus

Anyone are using Server Protect for Linux to protect the files on Samba File
Server ? Are there any other product, I want to check every file saved on my
file server.

Take a look at Vexira, www.centralcommand.com .  Apparently it will provide
on-access scanning Samba shares.  I'm not using it _yet_ but it sounds like
a great fit for Samba file servers.

Sophos has a Unix/Linux product but it isn't set up to automatically scan
files that remote users write to the server.  However, I suspect that it's
possible-- with some creativity-- since AMaViS uses Sophos to scan e-mail
passing through Sendmail.

Or, try the samba-vscan project (http://www.openantivirus.com), which
allows you to do on-access scanning in samba with your choice of virus
scanner (Fprot, OpenAntivirus, Sophos, Trend or Kaspersky). I have
tested it with Sophos (with samba-vscan 0.2.x), and am working on
getting the latest version running with Sophie (a daemon for managing
Sophos) in preparation for using it in production.

Hi all.

I have the BitDefender antivirus installed on my linux server.
How can i configure the Samba so that every file copied to /home be scanned 
for virus?

Thanks,
  Wendell.

If BitDefender offers a kernel module (like e.g. H+BEDV AntiVir+Dazuko 
or Kaspersky AntiVirus for FileServers) for hooking file system calls, 
then no Samba configuration is needed at all.

If BitDefenfer ships within a daemon program, which offers communication 
via TCP and/or Unix sockets or an API (licensed (L)GPL !), it _might_ be 
supported by samba-vscan in the future, as my time is simply too limited 
to add the integration right now.
