Thanks James (and Keith),

	I am using SAMBA (and LinNeighborhood for browsing) in a Linux and Windows 
home network. Also popping MS docs around (my wife has taken XP, a couple 
Word, MS Publisher, and now Excel classes). So figured I'd give it a try.

	F-Prot segfaulted yesterday. I also noticed that my tar/bzip2 backups hung 
when backing up my /mnt/windows/My\ Documents folder. Don't know if it's due 
to F-Prot, or if something is hacked under My Documents.

	I have Norton Anti-Virus on the Windows partition for when I am booted up 
into WIndows. Also have NAV on my other 2 laptops - so I might consider 
scripting a scan that simply avoids the Windows partition and mounted WIndows 
directories. I'd use NAV on Win machines (and partitions) and use F-Prot on 
the Linux machine.

	Anyway - trying again to figure out where I went wrong.
Thanks, Bruce
