Hello all, I'm trying to get Virus protection working on a FreeBSD mail server to protect the Windows & Macintosh clients that use it. After some research, I decided on the Kaspersky software, as it was supposed to integrate well with FreeBSD & sendmail. Apparently, I should have researched more before committing to this software. The sendmail hooks don't work, the documentation had to be pried from the paws of Kaspersky's tech support staff, the configuration utility crashes frequently, and when it isn't crashing, it refuses to allow me to configure the kavkeeper (which is the program that interfaces with sendmail) Since 99% of the problems seemed to center around kavkeeper, I decided to try installing Amavis to handle the job that kavkeeper couldn't. But I can't get Amavis to recognize that Kaspersky is installed and install. If I simply run make, the Amavis port doesn't recognize Kaspersky, and instead installs the uvscan port. I tweaked the Makefile to remove uvscan as a dependency, and then Amavis won't install. I then tweaked the configure script to look for kavdaemon instead of AvpDaemon, and configure seems to find Kaspersky, but still fails to install Amavis make: don't know how to make all: Stop *** Error Code 2 Anyone gotten this working? I've got to get this client up and running with server-based virus protection soon. (they're having continual problems ... ) Does anyone one have a recommendation for something that works well with FreeBSD & sendmail (with regular updates available?) My test machine is 4.6-STABLE. The current target machine is running 4.2, but I'll update it if need be, when the time comes. First I need a working install on this test machine. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
