Anyone running Trend Micro IWSS in linux-compat mode?

[David Landgren]

Hello List,

I'm running a squid proxy on FreeBSD. The big problem today is web-borne
viruses, spyware and other crap. The general feeling on the Squid users
mailing list is that Trend Micro's InterScan Web Security Suite product
is the way to go.

Having looked at the various incomplete, non-functional free offerings,
I have no problem going with a commercial product. The trouble is, they
only offer it on Windows, Linux and Solaris.

So, is anyone running IWSS in Linux-compatibility mode? If so is there
anything tricky to be aware of? I guess either way I'll try it out, and
if the worst comes to the worst, I'll just have to reformat the beast
and install Linux. But that would be a bummer.

Thanks for any clues I can use,
David

Just got the word back from their beta projects manager:

"Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have any concrete plans to
support FreeBSD. Please feel free to visit the trendbeta website on a
regular basis, as we often have new products (sometimes products are
released based on consumer needs) listed there."

Oh well, keep up the advocacy...

I like apache + mod_clamav. Unfortunately from reading Apache changelogs
I decided to go with 2.1-alpha and had to modify mod_clamav to fit
there. I sent my modifications to mod_clamav author who said he'll
probably incorporate most of it in the next release. They were pretty
big and in addition to making mod_clamav work with 2.1 they fixed some
real bugs (and probably added some).

I can send you what I have.
