Well, Unix antivirus is normally only good if you're running a fileserver (like Samba) for Windows machines, or an e-mail server. If you stay up to the moment on your vendors security patches, you'll avoid most problems with worms / etc... Usually, people will begin to use security holes after a patch has been made available. Using a bit of common sense, and not running any unknown programs as a root user will prevent viruses and trojan horses, and closing off any network service that you don't absolutely need, along with properly configuring the ones you do is the key to a secure machine.

NAME

       pwrkap_aggregate - Present a large number of pwrkap servers as if they were one

SYNOPSIS

       pwrkap_aggregate config_file

DESCRIPTION

       pwrkap_aggregate  is  a	daemon that connects to a multitude of pwrkap servers and power control domains, and presents them as if they were
       one server with a smaller number of domains.  By aggregating pwrkap server instances, it is possible to monitor many thousands  of  servers
       without	overworking the command console.  It is also possible to give identical class designations to a group of pwrkap servers and manage
       them as an aggregate.

OPTIONS

       config_file
	      Text file mapping pwrkap servers to aggregated domains.  See pwrkap_aggregate(5) for information about the config file format.
