Well the virus scanner on a server is a definiate since probably 70% of your clients are going to have a M$ Windows box, and most viruses are Windows aimed. I am going to add stuff to my computer like virus protection, but I already had IPtables setup via FireStarter at the time. But the orginal statement was saying that, as I have found, the average Windows user doesn't know the difference between Windows virus and PC virus and believe that all viruses and malware in Windows works on almost any PC.

For example, I called an Internet Service Provider, I won't say who though, and asked them if their internet security that they offer through their internet connection only protected Windows PC's or does it cover other OS such as UNIX or UNIX-like and the response I received was: Don't those viruses affect all computers?
Not bashing windows users, but people just need to understand the difference between PC viruses and Windows viruses and Linux viruses, etc...

maketext

MAKETEXT(1)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       MAKETEXT(1)

NAME

       maketext - translate and make messages

SYNOPSIS

	 maketext [OPTION] [--domain=TEXTDOMAIN] MSGKEY [PARAM...]
	 maketext [OPTION] -s MSGID [PARAM...]

DESCRIPTION

       The "maketext" script translates a natural language message into the user's language, by looking up the translation in a message MO file,
       and process the plural transformation with Maketext.

       The "maketext" script is a command-line interface to Locale::Maketext::Gettext(3) (and Locale::Maketext(3)).  It can be used in shell
       scripts, etc, to translate, maketext and return the result.  By this way, it enables Maketext to be integrated into other programming
       languages/systems, like bash/csh, python, PHP, C, etc.  It works like the command-line program gettext.

       For example:

	 % maketext -s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 0 1
	 0 viruses were found in 1 file.
	 % maketext -s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 1 3
	 1 virus was found in 3 files.
	 %

OPTIONS

       -d,--domain=TEXTDOMAIN
	   Retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN.

       -s  Adds a new line to the end of the output so that it behaves like the `echo' or the `gettext' command.

       -h,--help
	   Display the help messages.

       -V,--version
	   Display version information and exit.

       MSGKEY
	   The original text used to look up translated text.

       PARAM...
	   Parameters to Maketext for the plural and other text functions.

ENVIRONMENT

       TEXTDOMAIN
	   TEXTDOMAIN is used to determine the text domain when the -d parameter is not given.

       TEXTDOMAINDIR
	   TEXTDOMAINDIR is used to search the message catelog/MO file if it does not reside in the system locale directories.

NOTES

       Maketext language function override, like "quant" or "numerate", is not available here.	Suggestions are welcome.

       The current system locale directory search order is: /usr/share/locale, /usr/lib/locale, /usr/local/share/locale, /usr/local/lib/locale.
       Suggestions are welcome.
