I finally installed samba-vscan on a production server today. Per the suggestions in the documentation, I loaded vscan-clamav prior to recycle. It would not function. Virus files were able to be opened, moved, copied ...you name it. I stepped through my smb.conf file, created a separate share which only loaded the vscan-clamav object and it worked perfectly. I then slowly added the other options back into that section. As soon as I loaded the recycle object, the virus protection was gone. (when loaded AFTER vscan-clamav). I'm OK with having the smb.conf load recycle first, then load vscan-clamav after that, but perhaps that could/should be clarified somewhere in the documentation. For those of you who are unaware of what the recycle object does, it creates a .recycle directory in the appropriate share and moves files into that directory when a user deletes the files. It can save some headaches when users 'accidentally' delete files.
