Well, it's not necessarily a bad idea, but unless you're serving files to Windows machines or acting as a mail server there isn't much point. Almost every virus or worm that a UNIX-based antivirus package scans for is actually for Windows, since probably 99% of the virus/worm code out there is for DOS/Windows or MS Office macros. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
