We are using samba to give our NT users access to our UNIX servers (running Solaris 2.5.1) and to give our UNIX users, using Wincenter, access to their UNIX directories. We want to be able to run a virus checker (Network Associates VirusScan) from a NT 4.0 workstation and have it check the samba (UNIX directories). Since we want to centralize this activity, I want to be"root" on the users UNIX workstation. I created a samba entry for the directory and set users=root. From the NT workstation, I map the network drive and connect as root. I can scan the directory but it will not let me "clean" the users file unless I have write access to other eg chmod o+w. If I create a file on the users directory, the resultant file is owned by root with a group of other. Any ideas. David Perron PMSI Nepean, ON, Canada

You should be able to find it on their "licensed" ftp server. This scanner scans for all the same virii as the NT version. -- William Stuart (wstuart@hae.com) My email address, wstuart@hae.com, is (C) Copyright 1999 William Stuart...

The need for real "on access scanning" has Kaspersky Lab's attention and they are trying to come up with a solution for this. This I was told by Vyacheslav Medvedev from Kaspersky Labs.
