Viruses

There have been rumors of Linux viruses, but as of yet I still have never seen a Linux virus. I guess the virus programmers need to work harder. If you are working with a Windows machine and have a Linux server then you might need to do something about viruses, but only because of the processor time and space that can be consumed by virus infected machines. Viruses are out of the scope of this book.
