Hi there!
Am using CentOS 4.4. Have installed Samba and ClamAV. My understanding is that there's a vfs module (samba-vscan) which I have to install for Samba to virus scan its shares. Where can I get it from? I tried stuff like "yum install samba-vscan" etc but it doesn't seem to be there in the repos. I have RPMForge and the usual CentOS repos enabled.
Is this something I have to install from the sources or can I get a binary package from someplace?
Thanks, Rakhesh

That module does not exist in the Samba for CentOS-4.
You can get later versions of samba from enterprisesamba.org that does have those modules. (You are on your own for updates, etc. if you do that, of course).
Also, the kde-redhat repository does have the newer sambas and a new KDE and is fairly stable.
Both of these are 3rd party repos ... and make your centos different, but have the rpm in question.

I am new to this and so would like your opinion.
What do you recommend amongst these two repos (or other options)? If I follow this path would I later have difficulties while upgrading to CentOS 5 for instance? Would the kde-redhat repo be recommended coz any updates would atleast be fetched by yum (enterprisesamba.org does not seem to have any yum repo as far as I can see).

I forgot to add: I am using the CentOS-server version. No GUI etc. Just mentioning in case that influences your answers ...

---- kde-redhat has been very useful for me including samba but I wouldn't guarantee that the RHEL-5/Centos 5 version of samba might not be older than what you will get from either kde-redhat or enterprisesamba versions

So basically I can use either of these repos (kde-redhat preferrably coz of the updates) and chances are that I'll be using them once I upgrade to CentOS-5 anyways ... Cool!
Thanks for that.

(if you upgrade to CentOS-5, you will have to change binaries, as the current ones are compiled against an older GLIBC ... they most likely won't work on CentOS-5. Currently the CentOS-5 beta we are working on contains samba-3.0.23c .. that version would require you to force install it if you were using either kde-redhat or enterprisesamba.org as they both contain samba-3.0.23d. I just say this to remind people that upgrading will be harder when 3rd party apps are involved ... because upstream could shift this to samba 3.0.23d for final)
That being said, kde-redhat would probably be easier to use (they have a yum repo) ... and I am sure that they will also produce files for el5 fairly soon after is it released.
Not that I personally recommend upgrading to anything outside the main CentOS versions ... but if you are going to do so, kde-readhat would seem to be the easiest way to stay updated.

Thank you Johnny. Since I need samba-vscan, and there's no other way to go, I think I'll enable the kde-redhat repos and see how things go ... :)
Thank you for all the suggestions.
