Just an example and something that i've been working a lot with!
(dhcpd needs same amount or even less configuration in order to work!)

Well what I descriped will actually give you a usable configuration for
samba, shared data, printer and such!

If you rethink the clamav package from fedora.us in a way so it can be
configured from a single file, i'll be happy to stop bitching about it ;-).

My clamav installation looked like an utter mess and that my complaint.
I don't want an unsecure daemon, but then again, i'm not completely
sure why it would need to be insecure in order to check users mails
anyway... The MTA user got his greesy hands on the mail anyway, what keeps
us from having him check for infections while his at it??? That shouldn't
add a big security risk, should it?

In this case i'd suggest you have a talk to whoever made the other
clamav packages, and have a nice discussion on what is secure and whats
not. Still my point is that the fedura.us clamav packages is no nice
experience from an installation perspective, compared to the other versions
of the exact same thing.
