If you want to use Linux on z/VM to scan your corporate e-mail that gets delivered to PC users running Outlook on Windows, then look at the functional aspects first, because it is a different scenario than scanning the workstation itself for infected files. Something like ClamAV could fit in there (but whether it makes sense from a business point of view to run this on the mainframe, that's an entirely different issue...) If you need to address the corporate directive that "every system must run a virus scanner" then maybe you should wait for the z/VM Virus Scanner to be ported to Linux on z/VM ;-) -Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
