George--

In response to your anti-virus software, we have been using ServerProtect for Linux from TrendMicro on our RHEL3 computers for about a year and works fine--updates with no problem.

Red Hat did put out a new RPM book about a year ago I think that is
really good and has updated info, probably want to grab a copy if you're
building/maintaining RPM's.

One thing you'll want
 to make sure, is that you aren't listing Requires and BuildRequires
that RPM figures out on it's own.  It will just make things more
confusing later when things change (I'd mostly be concerned about the
libraries as RPM does a good job of including those automatically in the
dependencies).

If you are putting the libs in /usr/lib, you shouldn't need to run
ldconfig, but you could just add /usr/local/... to the /etc/ld.so.conf
and then run ldconfig and you wouldn't have to symlink things.

You'll probably want to list the files in the %files section, right now
you don't really have much there at all.

Just some idea after a 30-second glance...

Hello all

I am in need of an antivirus solution for two RHEL 3 WS standalone 
workstations. I'd prefer a Norton-esque product that comes with solid 
support and frequent definition updates.

Further, since these boxes DO NOT have an external connection (i.e. 
Internet), I'd need to be able to download the definition/application 
updates to a CD for installation onto these workstations.

I've checked the Symantec website, but have not had any luck identifying an 
application for RHEL 3 WS.

Does anyone have any ideas? If so, please include a URL or a MFG for me to 
locate the solution you are reccomending.

Thanks in advance for the help
George

I don't think think there is a hard restriction on the size of the gcos field. I 
do know it is alreay used for more than just the name. It has official (sub-) 
separators and sub-fields. I recall by head it is for both location and/or 
phone-number.

As for the email-address that should not be needed since it follows from the 
account and the machine-name and/or domainname. The mail to 
<accountname>@<machinename> and <accountname>@<domainname> and 
<accountname>@<machinename>.<domanname> should already be handled: the first and 
last at the machine at hand (proper aliases file), the other at the domains 
mx-machine for the domain.

Panda Software also is very nice if you have to run in a mixed environment
But it is not free either:

Antivir.de offers a solution I usualy use on my own computer, ok, but not
free.

The definition of viruses is a little bit heavy to download, but you can
download it alone, and copy it in the good directory.

Works fine
