Red Hat maintains that anti-virus is unnecessary, so does not ship a solution. Yeah, I don't disagree. Unfortunately someone up high in the company has caved to customer pressure, and it's written into contracts. :( :( :( Best thing we've been able to come up with is to do rpm-to-cpio then virusscan the rpm and the cpio file on windows. Since I wasn't present when that was done, I don't know if the scanner actually noticed the files in the cpio archive. Could move the entire tree of things that will become the rpm to windows and run the scanner on that. but symbolic links will be a problem on Winders. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.
