[NTLUG:Discuss] linux antivirus

Just looking to protect a sendmail server, a few apache servers, and a
couple of desktops at this point.  Probably a file server in the
not-to-distant future.  I may be showing my ignorance, (this isn't
difficult) but I have always been under the impression that linux-based
antivirus is not a real need.

I was just reading the rootkit conversation, and Kenneth Loafman's
chkrootkit suggestion and wondered if it was time to look into a anti-virus
solution as well.

Thanks,

Monty

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
