You still don't say what that means. You cannot actually run clamav inside squid - there's no such thing. You must be using some third-party addon (of which there are several) that does that integration for you. As others have just pointed out, alot of the "redirector"-style squid addons for doing this don't work well. They are slow and inefficient IMHO. I think the only "proper" way to do AV integration is directly - ie a proxy that natively supports AV. We use the open source HAVP proxy. It supports clamav, sophie, trophie, and several other commercial AV products and works very well. We still use it in conjunction with Squid, as it is a pure "AV proxy" and doesn't have all the other "bells-and-whistles" that Squid has. We use Squid as our frontends, and they are configured to use HAVP (running on the same box) as parent proxies. End result: all the creamy goodness of Squid plus the sanitized delightedness of clean webpages (well, mostly ;-) See http://www.server-side.de/ Jason -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
