We have the MOE supplied AV software installed at a local primary/middle 
school. The school now has two linux file servers, one is the PDC for the 
windows domain. Desktop machines are win98SE or XP.  The eTrust AV software 
is installed on all windows boxen.

The linux server component  of eTrust provides a distribution server intended 
to download virus signature updates from the CA site and distribute them out 
to clients.

We are not using the linux server component for various reasons. It seems 
fairly heavy on resources and doesn't actually do much at the end of the day.

Instead I setup a cron job to check for new updates on the CA ftp site and to 
download them if required (downloads and diffs index file first). This 
replaces the only useful function of the distribution server. The windows 
clients are configured to update from a samba file share.
