Can anyone offer a instructions for getting the 103/104 source to compile on Solaris (preferably 11.3) or work-around (that won't get me fired)?
Why not set up a virtual machine? You'll need to give it enough RAM, so depending on your system(s) and how you operate them you might need either to add RAM to the box or run the VM only when you need to scan, but you could more or less run any OS that you choose in the VM so you could choose one for which there's likely to be an up to date ClamAV package for the foreseeable future. I've used VirtualBox for a good long while, and although there have been a few niggles (most notably a problem syncing the system clocks, which has occasionally required a reboot of the VMs to get them back on track and I'm still not sure if the problem is fixed) generally speaking they perform very adequately. However I don't use them for scanning, so I can't vouch for their use in that application. Perhaps you could help us here by trying it. :) If you're unsure about it let me know, I can offer you some pointers. Alternatively for a few tens of dollars you could set up a Raspberry Pi just for scanning. That's what we do. Even the fastest Pi has fairly modest performance compared with typical desktop PCs from the past decade. That might be an issue for you, but we only scan mail and my (homebrew) milters are very choosy about what gets scanned so the performance of the Pi4B which we use is more than adequate. (In any case, do you know of an occasion where a Solaris box has been compromised by something which ClamAV would have been able to detect? :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
