One of my servers at work (FreeBSD 4.5-Stable) is riddled with the desktop.eml and sample.eml files. There are thousands of those files in the base of many many directories. I spent today cleaning up our Win2K workstations and servers (thanks, Network Associates!), but now I have to clean up my FBSD box -- it's primarily a Samba server for network user folders for students who have logins to the Win2k workstations. I did clean up another FreeBSD server (more Samba "homes" shares) by mounting / as an administrative share and running Virus Scan on all the file systems --that seemed to work and work well. I have built uvscan from ports and, though it is a "demo" program, we have a site license to run Network Associates NetShield and Virus Scan on all the University's workstations and servers --the license even covers FreeBSD, though Network Associates doesn't have a non-demo product for FreeBSD. Does anyone know if the .dat files as downloaded to a Win2k client will work with the uvscan in ports? Secondly, if I save the output of: # locate desktop.eml into a file, is there a reasonably non-hazardous way of deleting all the filenames contained within the file? Although the mounting of a / volume in Windows and cleaning working for one of our FreeBSD servers, it's not an option for this particular machine. I need to find another way, so any hints, suggestions or advice would be most welcome.
