This follows up my post on Thursday regarding the 'Suggestion - Antivir for Linux' thread. There was a minor amount of interest for a mcafee installer package so in it goes.

Network associates does not allow redistribution of their software, so Debian is unable to distribute full packages. You will need to download the latest .tar from ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/unix/linux/ and place it in /tmp (or $TMPDIR) before installation. It installs Network Associates Inc's files to /usr/lib/neta and places a simple wrapper in /usr/bin: #!/bin/sh ANTIVIRUS="/usr/lib/neta" exec /usr/lib/neta/uvscan $* It also includes a build-uvscan script which will create full .debs of uvscan and its dats: -rw-r--r-- 1 rcw rcw 566646 Aug 9 20:49 uvscan3-dats_3.00.3105_i386.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 rcw rcw 140082 Aug 9 20:49 uvscan3_3.1.8-1_i386.deb uvscan3 also contains the build-uvscan script, therefore it is the world's first self-replicating .deb :) (Yes, I'm well aware that 3105 is out of date, however I don't have any virii to scan on my home development machine, so I don't really care :) There currently isn't a script to update the dats. -- Robert Woodcock - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Unix and C are the ultimate computer viruses" -- Richard Gabriel
