anti-virus scanner that is free. Firewalls in Linux are set-up by ipchains
by default in RH 7.2. The 'lokkit' or 'gnome-lokkit' program will allow
you to set-up a basic firewall on your computer, it comes with RH 7.2 and
should've been installed when the OS was installed.. There isn't
any spyware that I'm aware of that's directed toward Linux, as most spyware
preys on vulnerabilities in IE to implant themselves on the victim's
computer. Viruses aren't really aimed at Linux either, but it's always
nice to watch all the M$ viruses get nabbed in the act.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

merely subdirectories of the root partition. A directory can be a mount
point for a filesystem or just a directory off the root partition. Linux
and Unix try to make everything one "logical" filesystem. If you want to

[NBLUG/talk] Good anti virus, open sourrce soaftware?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone lead me to a good open source,
free anti-virus, anti-spy and firewall download site as my RH 7.2
does not have any protection?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Second question. I just installed a second
HD on my RH 7.2. All went well where it is recognized, has been
partitioned, and has a filesystem mounted and is accessible. I
noticed that in the /etc/fstab file, only 5 file systems are described and the
same in the /etc/mtab file. Nowhere do I see how /etc, /bin, /sbin
and others are "mounted" on their respective filesystems/partitions/slices on
the first HD. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I would like to do is add more
directories to the second HD but not as sub directories. When I do
a ls -l on the "/" it shows the new directory (on the second HD) as just
another directory in the list. Am I allowed only one parent directory
per partition/slice on the second HD? Am I getting confused between
physical and logical drives?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any into appreciated,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
