RE: Scanning the iSeries (IFS) for Viruses

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you buy a new iSeries that comes bundled with an IxS, your costs
should be limited to Windows + AV software.  If not, add a couple
thousand $ for the card & some RAM. 

What about a Linux partition-based AV solution?  Anyone tried that?
Have Linux NFS mount the IFS (or an equivalent) and use Linux-based AV
software to scan.

Don't know the costs.  But we have 5 of them loaded into 1 of our
iSeries. 
 That virtual lan is sweet!

Scanning from a PC out on the network is 'workable', but numerous
problems 
are overcome by having an iSeries native solution running instead.

What I've been most curious about is the result of running scanning from

an integrated Windows card. This would be an intermediate level between 
those extremes. Communication should/could then be via the internal 
'virtual LAN'. I haven't seen comments from anyone that indicated that 
configuration. What's the cost nowadays to use such a card?
