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.
But how would on-access-scan protect against that?
side remark, we've limited the area where people can put their downloads.. As soon as one tries to open any file there, or move it, "onaccess" should step-in and check wether or not the file is safe. if not, the file is replaced by an empty one, with the extension ".contained_virus" hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
