VirusProtection and IMAP
Virus: What kind of anti virus software should I use to protect my BSD system which is free and really kill's viruses? IMAP: Where can I tell freeBSD which IMAP software should he use? Like I installed cyrus and imapd-uw. So which one the system is using and how can I switch between them?

Most Unix users don't need anti-virus software; someone gave a reference to chkrootkit under the ports which will look for rootkits. IMAP: Where can I tell freeBSD which IMAP software should he use?

Take a look at /etc/inetd.conf, although it's also possible to configure the mail daemons to work as standalone programs. -Chuck Chuck Swiger | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | All your packets are belong to us. -+---+--- The human race's favorite method for being in control of the facts is to ignore them. -Celia Green To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

One thing that I think should be offered up is that while many people don't really believe in the idea of a virus protection software for your physical sessions with the machine, many will tell you that it's nice to use for whatever MTA you use to receive the email with. F-prot has a FreeBSD native scanner that works with the amavisd port (/usr/ports/security/amavisd or the variants) to help you filter viruses out of the *email* that would be passing through your machine. To tell which server your machine is using, you could #telnet localhost 143 Which would probably return something telling you the version make of the IMAP software you're currently using. Uw-imap is a pretty easy installation, but you will have to do more than just install cyrus in order to get it to work with your system.
