How do you guys protect Samba shares from Win32 based viruses?

Sophos appears to make an actually on access scanning engine for UNIX. 
Something I've not seen from any of the other vendors.  I have not used
it nor do I know anything about it other than what I read on the
sophos.com website.

At the moment I just have scanning on the Client side, and I run a cron
job to scan the linux box via uvscan that comes with McAfee Active Virus
Defense.  It's just an on-demand scanner, but I run it on the areas
people touch every 3 hours or so.  I know that's not good enough but I'm
guessing it's better than nothing.
