&gt;&gt; Hi all,
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; I'd like to get some practical advice about putting antivirus on linux
&gt;&gt; servers. In my specific instance, I've got about 40 servers behind a
&gt;&gt; firewall that run different applications, such as Jboss, IMAP, LDAP,
&gt;&gt; etc. Each of the servers behind this firewall run specialized
&gt;&gt; applications. Users interact with these applications via a web server
&gt;&gt; farm in a DMZ or via a telephone voice interface. We are running
&gt;&gt; iptables on all the servers and only open ports we need, plus we have
&gt;&gt; ACLs around the routers that bridge the firewall between the DMZ and the
&gt;&gt; applications. All of the application servers run under their own
&gt;&gt; non-privileged user account (not root) with the exception of the IMAP
&gt;&gt; and SMTP server(s).
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; So - the reason that I ask this is that we have been resisting putting
&gt;&gt; on A/V products on the Linux servers that are not in the DMZ and behind
&gt;&gt; the firewall and are not running Samba or anything like that, which is
&gt;&gt; almost all of the machines. However, there is some pressure to install
&gt;&gt; A/V on all machines. I'd like to get information from other people's
&gt;&gt; experiences and advice to help in making a more informed decision.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Thanks,
&gt;&gt;
