I haven't used Intercheck yet, but that looks like a very clever idea - your Windows clients contact the unix server for virus identity updates. > Best of all, they support FreeBSD so we should support them, right? - Jy@ Amen. They seem pretty sucessfully multi-platform. Were they truly clever they'd submit a port so you could eval their software. :) -danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
