I have been able to get Opera on Suse 7.3 to present itself to SoncWall =
as IE 5, but it still won't let me through. The solution proposed by =
sonic wall is to assign a Static ip address to my linux box and exepmt =
that ip from the anti virus requirement. This is possible to do, but I =
may have a hard time selling this idea to my employer.
Is there any danger and if so how much, to running a linuxbox with no =
anti virus protection on a network that is all win98 or XP workstations? =
Many Linux servers, but this would be the first linux workstation.
I've never heard of such a thing but is there antivirus software for =
linux?
Regards,
Charlie
