Thanks Vern,

Good information. My thought on the iSeries is that I KNOW every PC can get
to it. And I am finding out that it is a little harder to get PC's outside
of local routers to see each other (without setting up LMHosts files, etc.).

Subject: Re: Using IFS for Antivirus Updates to PC's ?

Definitely. The root of the IFS is just like Windows. You only need to 
create a file share - easiest way is in OpsNav under the File Systems item, 
IIRC. It's there somewhere.

One caveat - the iSeries is not as fast for this as Intel boxes. You might 
could be better off putting things on the Linux box - I believe it, too, 
can participate in Windows networking (Samba?), which is what the iSeries 
is doing here - NetServer is the iSeries way of doing Windows file shares.

Hate to have to say that. But file serving just is not the iSeries' bag. I 
don't know what the problem is, but it's there.

Of course, if speed is not an issue, then the security and backup of the 
iSeries is a plus. Occasional updates may not need blinding access speed.
