It's not that dazuko is written badly, it's just that some kernel developers think that on-access scanning isn't needed for Linux with the only exception being windows partitions/shares and there you can combine samba with a virus scanner.
Well, I disagree with them. On-access IS needed now and even more in the future!
But it is not needed for linux. It is only needed for linux boxes doing file serving for windows boxes! Ie, it can be better handled directly from samba, not from the kernel.
Excuse me, Aren't you aware that there _are_ files that are harmfull for linux/slowarez etc etc???? Rootkits, backdoors and all sort of nice "features" that can be included into usefull programs, Just waiting to be excecuted once as root.
