Hi Craig! :o) Sorry, a bit OFFtopic, not really samba... And please don't bite, I'm new here on this mailing list...
CW> I have also seen text files, jpg files bmp files and others become CW> infected with worms and viruii too...I suppose you can add them to the CW> list and if you really want to make sure that your server is safe from CW> the possibility of having problems with worms or viruses... veto files = CW> /*.*/ would probably cover it. CW> Craig 1. Text files You mean M$ Word files (Based on VBSript, WordMacros). Anything else (some macros-like codes You can use in OpenOffice and clones, and COrel's office)? 2. JPG, BMP: BMP is hard to believe for me, please tell me one... I heard about a JPG worm, but a singe JPG-file was not be able to infect. (BMP and JPG does NOT have executable parts!) You had to get a REAL worm before it, and then when You open a JPG file than it increases its size, nothing else... - there was a hoax a few years ago that said a TTF file can infect... ) 3. As far as I know in _normal_ cases worms infect executable files or files that contains executable parts (the M$ Office's macros are very good because of the big security holes) (Of course something.bmp.pif is NOT a BMP file - The eaziest way to make a fool of M$ Outlook/Express...) Please write me if I'm wrong, I want to know it! BYE: TeeCee :o) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
