Dear list members, developers, in our heterogenous network (Linux, Windows, Mac) we have the requirement to check incoming data streams for viruses and other malware.
Scanning email seems the easiest part here, also scanning directories regularly. These are all server bound. You can set up Windows machines to scan hotplugged devices (USB-Sticks, HDs, etc) with the installed virus checker. A current problem is the handling on the ltsp thinclients. Although Linux on the clients and on the ltsp-servers minimizes the problem with malware enormously, the data is stored in public directories, where also Windows machines have access to. I found hints for binding clamfs (http://clamfs.sourceforge.net/) into the fuse mount process (see http://muzso.hu/2010/07/08/how-to-make-truecrypt-work-for-normal-users-and-with-ltspfs-mounted-local-devices-eg.-usb). But this needs source code changes in the ltspfsmounter script which have to be redone after each update. As this is a common problem for lots of network administrators, I wonder if a generic solution would be available/desirable. Has anybody implemented this or other useful hints? Thanks in advance.
