Other Help Topics :: F-prot



Patrick,
Did you also install the new java? ( j2re1.4.2_05.uci )
It should work with firefox-0.9.3.1.dsl ...
I symlinked the 2 together - that's the only difference between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3.1
They are both in the testing area... remember to have gnu-utils.dsl installed ..

Let me know..

we are getting offtopic.
at this very moment i run the "old" firefox-0.9.3, and the "new" java, flashplugin and mplayerplugin. so far i have not found any problems.
the "trick" to get the new jave to work with the old firefox-0.9.3 is to make a symlink from /opt/j2re1.4.2_05/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /opt/firefox/plugins
this is my /opt/firefox/plugins
Code Sample
lrwxrwxrwx    1 dsl      staff          45 Sep 28 13:24 flashplayer.xpt -> /ramdisk/opt/.firefox_plugins/flashplayer.xpt
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           47 Sep 28 13:24 libflashplayer.so -> /ramdisk/opt/.firefox_plugins/libflashplayer.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 dsl      staff          62 Sep 28 13:24 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /opt/j2re1.4.2_05/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
-rwxrwxrwx    1 dsl      staff       18840 Aug  3 17:14 libnullplugin.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 dsl      staff          47 Sep 28 13:24 mplayerplug-in.so -> /ramdisk/opt/.firefox_plugins/mplayerplug-in.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 dsl      staff          48 Sep 28 13:24 mplayerplug-in.xpt -> /ramdisk/opt/.firefox_plugins/mplayerplug-in.xpt

we have to start a new topic or find a better recent one to continue this.
Tuxpuck is funny.. (nicely done)
Henk,

I hope you explain some of that symlink/plugin-stuff you mentioned (i started a new topic on that)

First of all, linux isn't virus-proof!

I never said it was.

Secondly: I ultimately want to replace my windows xp (and ALL the applications that run in it) with linux, so i have to replace my Mcafee with something similar.)
It's good that you mention Windows because f-prot is a virus scanner for mail servers that serve email to Windows users.  It will help you keep you computer free of viruses that infect Windows machines which won't harm your linux boxen anyway.

Third: Even if there are NO/hardly any virusses in Linux. Ultimately Linux will become so popular that the creeps who live in the basements of their parents homes will be interessted enough to write more virusses/shit 4 Linux OS.
I agree, and when that day comes someone will write anti-virus that checks for LINUX VIRII not Windows VIRII

Running anti-virus software to check for Windows virii on a Linux box is almost like tits on a boar hog.
