using samba for remote A/V scan

**micman2003** · 08-12-2004, 09:18 PM

I have a laptop I'm trying to fix for a friend. I'm not really new to linux, but I am very new to Samba. Another friend of mine suggested that I use Samba to share the laptop and run the antivirus program from my desktop. I have tried the documentation at http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqSambaQuick but it didn't work. I need the computer running by Sunday morning, so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You will get the idea how it will run. I would suggest you get Bitdefender live cd for that purpose since knoppix cd don't come with av.

What I was planning on doing was sharing the whole hard drive with Knoppix, and then scanning it via a piece of cross-connect with my XP Pro machine. I'll give your suggestion in the other post a try, though, and put the result up here. Thanks! More suggestions are more than welcome!

Forget Samba. Just use Knoppix instead.

Make sure you mount the drive using the Captive driver if it's an NTFS drive.
