This is a howto on getting samba + clamav  to work on a rpm system

First thing first I need do install samba file server and clamav anti-virus, after configurating my samba share i have made 2 directory’s in /home

1. virus
2. logs

the virus folder contains the infected files found during scanning and the logs folder contains the report of the scanning witch is send bu email to you.

and added a script in crontab in the root account.

#!/bin/bash
TIME=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d-%T')
/usr/bin/clamdscan --move /home/virus/quarantine -v /home/samba > /home/logs/samba/dailyscan.$TIME
virus=`cat /home/logs/samba/dailyscan.$TIME | grep "Infected files" | awk '{print $3}'`
virus=`cat /home/logs/samba/dailyscan.$TIME | grep "Total errors:" | awk '{print $3}'`
if [ "$virus" != "0" ]; then
mail -u root -s "Virus on Samba File Server : Hostname `hostname`" you@mail.com </home/logs/samba/dailyscan.$TIME
else if [ "$error" != "0" ]; then
mail -u root -s "Error on virus scan Interliner.eu: Hostname `hostname`" you@mail.com </home/logs/samba/dailyscan.$TIME
fi
fi

and set the script to run once a day, in my case in 11:00pm, because the businesses it is not in the hours . The reson is that i made it run once a day because it task’s 2 hours to finish the scanning, You can change this
