a newbie question.

using SAMBA, SQUID, Virtualization KVM  and Planning for MTA. do you
guys think i need an Antivirus for server side virus protection?

We are using Nod32 and i found out that they have a software for GUI
only. i couldn't find CLI base client.

any help would be appropriated.


Thanks,

well, for the servers dont really need antivirus protection (how many programs from unknow sources are you using?). You can run clamav for mail attachments and samba shares to protect your users.

You can run some nids/ids or honeypot to mitigate attacks on the server
