[osiris-devel] Osirisd question

[Brian Wotring]

Not that I would recommend.  First, files are not the only thing that 
are scanned by the agents.  Second, there is the issue of complicating 
the data path, and the security of that path.

Installing software does suck, I agree, but the alternatives present 
more complications (in my opinion).
