You can use Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers on a computer that meets the following requirements:

Component

Requirement

Platform

CPU with the Intel/AMD architecture and command system are supported: 32-bit (IA-32, x86); 64-bit (x86_64, x64, amd64).

Hard disk space

At least 1 GB of free disk space on a volume where the Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers directories are located.

Operating System

GNU/Linux (kernel 2.6.37 or newer and library glibc 2.13 or newer), FreeBSD or Solaris for Intel x86/amd64 platforms.

For systems operating on 64-bit platforms, support of 32-bit applications must be enabled (probably, additional libraries must be installed for this, see below).

 

Operation system must support the PAM authentication mechanism.

Tested operating system distributions are listed below.

Other

The following valid network connections:

Valid Internet connection to enable updates for virus databases and Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers components.

When operating in central protection mode, connection to the server on the local network is enough; connection to the Internet is not required.

Additional Packages

For CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu on the platform x86_64, the package that enables support for 32-bit applications (libc6-i386 or glibc.i686, depending on OS).

For convenient work with Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers in the command line, you can enable command auto-completion in the used command shell (if disabled).

 

If you encounter any problem with installation of additional packages and components, refer to manuals for the used distribution of the operating system.

 

Disclaimer

Operation of SpIDer Guard in the operating system kernel mode (LKM module) is not supported for operating systems launched in the Xen hypervisor environment. An attempt to load the SpIDer Guard kernel during the OS operation in the Xen environment can lead to a critical error of the OS kernel (so called “Kernel panic” error).

Supported File Servers

1.Samba File Service

For integration with Samba file service, the installed and configured file server Samba is required (supported Samba versions: 3.0.33, 3.0.36, 3.2.0 – 3.6.0, 4.0.0 – 4.8.0).

The SpIDer Guard for SMB monitor of Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers uses a special VFS SMB module for the integration with the Samba server. With the SpIDer Guard for SMB component, several versions of this module are supplied. They are built for various versions of Samba. However, the supplied versions of the VFS SMB module may be incompatible with the version of Samba installed on your file server. It may occur, for example, if your Samba server uses the CLUSTER_SUPPORT option.

If VFS SMB modules are incompatible with your Samba server, the corresponding message is shown during the product installation. In this case, build the VFS SMB module for your Samba server manually (including the compatibility with the CLUSTER_SUPPORT option if necessary).

The procedure of building the VFS SMB module from the supplied source code files is described in the Building the VFS SMB Module section.

 

2.NSS File Service

For integration with NSS file service, the installed and configured Novell Open Enterprise Server SP2 based on the operating system SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP3 or newer (11 SP1, SP2) is required.

Compatibility with Security Subsystems

By default, Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers does not support SELinux. In addition, Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers operates in reduced functionality mode in the GNU/Linux systems that use mandatory access models (for example, in systems supplied with the PARSEC mandatory access subsystem that appends different privilege levels to users and files).

If installation of Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers is required for systems with SELinux (as well as for systems that use mandatory access models). It is necessary to execute additional settings of a security subsystem so that Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers operates in full functionality mode. For details, refer to the section Configuring Security Subsystems.
