[clug-talk] antivirus for samba server

[Shawn]

I thought ClamAV would only detect viruses, not clean them.  If this is true, 
then I don't know if ClamAV is the best tool for use with Samba - it's 
primarily used in conjunction with email servers (though I could be wrong 
here).

I use F-Prot though for scanning my mail, and seem to remember seeing methods 
to integrate it with Samba.

My thoughts.
