Yeah, I tried dazuko and didn't have much luck.  Everything said use at
your own risk so I did.  It didn't crash the system or anything but I
had no problem uploading viruses to the server.  I don't really have a
problem running ClamAV nightly or anything but real time would just be
better.  The main reason for virus protection on this campus is that
most of the machines are still Mac and Windows.  So I want a system for
real time protection with them.  I am not worried about viruses on the
Linux machines yet but just wanted to be sure no one is telling people
that anti-virus is not needed on Linux because they don't exist (like I
have been saying until about 2 days ago).
