Introduction

The manual is designed for a person responsible for anti-virus protection and security ("Administrator" hereinafter).

Dr.Web® Anti-virus for Novell Storage Services (version 6.0.2) serves for detection and neutralization of viruses and other malware in Novell Storage Services™ (NSS) file system based on Novell Open Enterprise Server™ running under SUSE Linux Enterprise Server™ 10 SP3 operating system. Although most malware is aimed at non-UNIX systems, file servers can be used for distribution of viruses for all operating systems including macro-viruses for applications.

Dr.Web for Novell Storage Services is able to detect all known viruses and operates in asynchronous mode: files are processed without locking. Virus check is made when a server performs a requested file operation (i.e writing or reading files on the server).

•Dr.Web Scanner - console anti-virus scanner that provides detection and neutralization of viruses on the local machine and in the shared directories;

•Dr.Web Daemon - a background that performs functions of an external anti-virus filter;

•Dr.Web Monitor - a resident component that runs and terminates other Dr.Web modules in the required order;

•Dr.Web Agent - a resident component that helps to configure and manage Dr.Web components, gathers statistics and provides integration with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite (Dr.Web ESS);

By default, the solution includes Dr.Web Agent, designed for integration with Dr.Web ESS 6.0. If you want to integrate the suite with Dr.Web ESS 10.0, install the updates for Dr.Web Agent and perform additional configuration steps. For details, refer to the Dr.Web Agent section.

•Dr.Web Updater (implemented as a Perl script) - a component that provides regular updates to virus databases;

•NSS Daemon – main component that is responsible for integration with NSS file system;
