<RANT>Here's a silly question... Why in the world would Fedora provide KlamAV for antivirus and NOT provide the Dazuko module needed to scan the filesystem? Seems kinda silly to me...and I *really* don't feel like recompiling the kernel just to have the freakin' Dazuko module. It just don't make sense to me...
Maybe it's just me. Dunno... </RANT> John

Well
Fedora Extras provides Klamav which means a community member did the packaging for it!
You can file a Request bug to the packager of klamav in bugzilla.redhat.com to package it for the fedora community.

Because clamav is actually rather useful without Dazuko and because Dazuko to put it mildly has some quality and correctness concerns.

See: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-October/msg02243.html If you use Dazuko 2.3.2-pre1, then you don't need the patch mentioned in the HOWTO (step 2), it has been merged upstream. Also, step 10 (configuring clamd) is taken care of by KlamAV. Steps 11 and 12 probably are, too.
