Hi guys, I just came across an interesting question. Is there a way to do realtime virus scanning on samba 3.4.7 on ubuntu 10.04. I have found "scannedonly [1]" and "vscan [2]", but neither of them is in the repositories meaning we will have to package them our selfs which will become administrative nightmare. Right now I am looking into inotify + clamAV, but before I start redesigning the wheel, have any of you done this before? Am I missing the boat totally? Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hallo, Ian, Du meintest am 26.10.11:> I just came across an interesting question. Is there a way to do > realtime virus scanning on samba 3.4.7 on ubuntu 10.04.Maybe there is some way. But it may produce only virtual security. In the last months I've tested many malware mail attachments, p.e. with "http://jotti.org". About 4 hours after sending time perhaps only 10 of the 20 scanners which "jotti.org" uses had found a virus, some scanners needed more than 24 hours for updating their signature file. When you use an online scanner than you can be sure it doesn't detect really new malware - you have to use some other tool for searching such malware. Viele Gruesse! Helmut
