we're using F-Secure, there are nice and useful command line utilities.
F-Secure also has some Kernel module stuff, but these we're not using. You
may want to have a look to F-Secure Linux Server Security, which runs fine
for us at SLES9/10 and RHEL5. There also is some inclusion for Samba and
other things if you use the regular installation and not only command line
utilities as we do, IIRC.

With kind regards
