i believe if you set the nt userid that the scanner is using to root in the usermap.cfg it might help.

and macafee[nai] does have a unix version of their antivirus scanner.

Hey Gang,

I need to create a cifs share that I can virus scan monthly, I would like to set this up with CIFS, but the underlying unix permissions seem to override and I get permission denied on the files. Is there anyway I can setup a CIFS share that does not use the underlying unix permissions.

I had the share set to full permissions and it does get some of the things but a few locked down unix directories seem to get permission denied on.

Unless someone knows a good virus scanner that will run on linux/solaris.

Thanks,
