I didn't know NT could do this either. Samba only mimics an NT server from the network file system level, it doesn't replicate the whole OS under Linux. In order to do this, you'd have somehow intercept the write-to-disk calls that Linux is performing, or, have Samba pipe the output stream through a virus scanning utility before it sends that data stream to the Linux kernel to be written to disk. I have no idea how you'd do this. How does NT do it? Do they really scan the data stream before it gets written to disk? I mean, that's pretty cool, but also insanely in-efficient (hmm, Windows, in-efficiency, okay, so I'm a little redundant here:) Ben, any ideas on this one? You seem to be our most knowledgable NT guru ( I mean that in a good way, really I do :) -- Seeya, Paul ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
