Hi, I would like to scan the documents uploaded by users onto my Zope/CMF servers. My servers run on Linux behind Apache and a Linux firewall. How can I do ? -- Nicolas Romero, adp3i <http://www.adp3i.fr>

Thank you for the reply. Well, AMAVIS, as the majority of solutions (all ?) found when searching for antivirus in Freshmeat, only scans mails (AFAIK). As I can't believe that I am the only one who face to this issue, I wonder how the others do. -- Nicolas Romero, adp3i <http://www.adp3i.fr>

You can tweak it somehow: encode to Base64, then drop trough AMAVIS then decode it back and upload (or something like that). I've never hacked it, so I just _heard_ that somebody somehow did it. Personally I don't care about any viruses, since I use Linux Desktop all the time. And thouse who use "M$ Windows" should buy their own preservatives, like NortonAntiVirus on theirs own boxes and *DAILY* care by themselves, IMNSHO. If you'll care about viruses, you SHOULD care about latest upgrades DAILY but if not -- then this mechanism is just throw away this idea. :/ -- Regards, Bogdan Microsoft -- because God hates us.

Look for Sophie; a daemon that uses the Sophos scanning engine but listens on a UNIX domain socket. You should be able to figure out the protocol (or ask Vanja, the author) and be able to write a client for it. Actually, someone has recently written a Perl module for the Sophos API; it would be really sweet if someone who knew how would write a Python one... http://www.vanja.com Wil -- Wil Cooley wcooley@nakedape.cc Naked Ape Consulting http://nakedape.cc * * * * Linux, UNIX, Networking and Security Solutions * * * * QCSNet http://www.qcsn.com * * * * T1, Frame Relay, DSL, Dial-up, and Web Hosting * * * *

I can't speak to anit-virus software for Linux, as I've never needed any, but if you can find some or rip out the libraries of some you can use the Python C API to make it available to Python programs like Zope. Otherwise, you may need to go (gasp!) around to Windows vendors and find one that offers a COM interface, and use the COM interface product to let Zope get at it. But I can't offer any details as to that approach. But I'm sure some of our Windowsy users can. (Or better yet, find one that does it web-services like and use XML-RPC or SOAP to get at it.) --jcc (ack! fenestration!)
You could stick it all behind an antivirus appliance, like symantec makes. (guys in yellow jackets advert.) Bobb ----- Original Message ----- From: "J Cameron Cooper" <jcc@jcameroncooper.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 1:22 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Antivirus

We run sophos antivirus with amavis for scanning email. The command line sophos utility is called sweep. So long as there's a way to trigger the scan when files are uploaded it should be pretty trivial. I'm not a zope expert yet so exactly how you would handle the zope side of things I'm not sure. There are many AV solutions that run on Linux besides Sophos; McAfee and RAV are the two I can think of right away. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser@wehave.net> http://wehave.net/ Brampton, Ontario, Canada Linux 2.4.20 AuthenticAMD

I should add clamav is a completely free product if you're looking to save a little bit of money ... http://clamav.elektrapro.com/ A few people have mentioned amavis, amavis is not a virus scanner, it is a program that facilitates virus scanning of email. Email needs to have all the mime parts pulled out and scanned separately. Amavis pulls things apart and relies on a separate anti-virus program to actually scan those parts. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser@wehave.net> http://wehave.net/ Brampton, Ontario, Canada Linux 2.4.20 AuthenticAMD
