: samba server? Not having to have AV on every win-client seems worthwhile to me
That's true. That's what I get for working for an ISP for too long. I've forgotten everything about windows workgroups and lans... For a workgroup file server, dazuko would probably be worth it, even with clam run as root. It all depends on the environment...
I feel a bit embarrassed - I do not even know what my goal actually is. Basically, this is a internet-connected stand-alone linux laptop and I'm merely trying to get acquainted with all sorts of security stuff and play around with it. I want to thank you (both) for your excellent suggestions anyway, tho. Both the arguments about rareness of file-infecting virii in linux environments *and* about the benefits of having dazuko on a samba LAN fileserver make perfect sense to me. I'll be sure to remember those when I one day have to set up something for some more serious environment. Thanks a lot, Andreas -- Real programmers don't document.
