[clamav-users] Clamav with a samba server ?

[Edouard Guigné]

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, all workstations have antivirus updates, this is a commercial 
antivirus.

What do you mean by "You could enable 'on access' scanning on the CentOS 
box" ?
Is there a special to start clamav with mode 'on access' ?

What is this 'on acess' mode ?
