I'm sure you can buy it from them for a reasonable price, though I haven't checked. Trend sells Linux AV, so does Symantec/Norton. Kaspersky does, Ahn does. Actually, Does anyone NOT sell it? Everyone has AV versions available. for Linux now. I don't see how your desktops fit into this conversation. Actually, other than trying to pick an argument with me, and ticking off Richard, I'm not too sure what's up here. You seem to get POed whenever AntiVirus comes up a a subject. Sure you're against it. That's fine. But others aren't. Some will be mandated to run it by corporate policies. Others will run it because it's mandated by a CYA policy. Samba built a VFS module, and there are a few examples of places where you'd want to use it. One is for a recycle bin. The second is so that every file accessed via Samba is scanned first. People ARE using AV software. Sure, on a desktop it can be skipped. You could skip it on Windows too, assuming the server does an adequate job of protecting everything going in or out. And Home Use is a different thing althogether. Kev.
