I meant Linux virus scanners are bogus on dedicated CLI only systems that don't pass off packets to Microsoft machines. I don't generally load X Windows, Gnome/KDE, or browsers on Linux.
Can anyone tell the best free antivirus for Linux? I'm using RED HAT 9.0 & want to install antivirus for it.
So if anyone has any suggestions of where to get that antivirus, that would be great! (2 Replies)

I just installed Ubuntu 9 on my computer and need to know what anti-virus software to use. I have been using Avast anti-virus on my other comps for years and really like it. I have not tried it with Ubuntu yet but it says for Windows based systems.
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks... (5 Replies)

AMAVISD-NEW(8) System Manager's Manual AMAVISD-NEW(8)NAME
amavisd-new - Interface between MTA and virus scanner/content filters
SYNOPSIS
amavisd-new [ -u userid ] [ -g groupid ] [ -c config-file ]... [ start | stop | reload | debug | debug-sa | foreground ]
DESCRIPTION
amavisd is a high-performance interface between message transfer agent (MTA) and virus scanners and/or spam scanners.
This is the amavisd-new incarnation of amavisd. It is a performance-enhanced and feature-enriched version of the original amavisd program.
Amavisd-new works as a SMTP proxy. Email is fed to it through SMTP, processed, and fed back to the MTA through a new SMTP connection.
There is no buffering to disk by amavis, it will report that the transfer was sucessfull only after the forwarding MTA has accepted the
message.
It is possible to use the sendmail milter interface instead of the SMTP proxy method, as well.
OPTIONS -c configfile
Use the specified configuration file instead of using run-parts(8) to find config files in /usr/share/amavis/conf.d and
/etc/amavis/conf.d (this is a Debian extension to Amavisd-new). More than one -c option can be specified and the files will be read
in the order given.
-u userid
Try to switch to that user id.
-g groupid
Try to switch to that group id.
start Starts amavisd-new
stop Stops a running amavisd-new
reload Reloads configuration from config file (may in fact just restart amavisd-new)
debug Runs amavisd-new in debug mode
debug-sa
Runs amavisd-new in spamassassin debug mode
foreground
Does not fork to background
FILES
/etc/amavis/amavisd.conf, /var/lib/amavis, /var/run/amavis/amavisd.pid
