[clamav-users] Clamav with a samba server ?

[Mark Fortescue]

Hi Edouard,

If you are unsure how it works then it is best to try it out on a stand 
alone set-up that is not in use by other users.

Set up a clean system with samba and clamav and use you own host to 
connect to it so that no other users are involved. You can then try 
various things without risk of upsetting other users.

It is never a good thing to install new software that you are not 
familiar with  on a live system without first trying it out on a test 
system.

Regards
	Mark Fortescue
