Hi Frank:
(snort, burp, fart)
When I directly experience problems with viruses, I will install and use
one of several free anti-virus programs available. If I was selling anti-
virus solutions, as the interviewee of this report, I would probably try
to find some benefit for my product...Oh, but there is..if you have a
server and I quote....
"As system administrators move to Linux files servers they have a real
problem to deal with since the Linux file server can store Windows-based
viruses. Windows-based viruses can write to a Linux/Samba network share
as easily as they can on a Microsoft Windows based network. System
administrators must protect the Linux server from storing these viruses.
The only way is through active antivirus defense on the Linux server
itself."

Ah, windows based viruses. We mustn't store those nasty windows viruses
and pass them on to other windows computers..so we need an anti-virus to
catch them...hmmmmm..very interesting. But I don't have a server and I
don't connect to Windows computers...

I am sure that someone somewhere sometime will devise a Linux virus.
Human depravity is very ingenious... I will just download and install
clam, but so far it has been a waste of time, running an anti-virus.
