Specification

Requirement

Platform

Both 32-bit (IA-32, x86) and 64-bit (x86-64, x64, amd64) Intel platforms are supported.

Hard disk space

Minimum 1 GB of free disk space of the volume where Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers are located.

Operating system

GNU/Linux (kernel 2.6.37 or newer and library glibc 2.13 or newer), FreeBSD or Solaris for platforms Intel x86/amd64. Note that the system must use PAM.

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).

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.

Required additional libraries for 64-bit OS version

9.3, 10.1

Solaris:

Version

Required additional libraries for 64-bit OS version

10 u11

Please note that for FreeBSD and Solaris, the product can be installed only from universal package.

The SpIDer Guard and SpIDer Guard for NSS monitoring components are included only in the distributions designed for GNU/Linux OSes.

On Debian, Fedora, Mint, and Ubuntu, SpIDer Guard uses the fanotify monitoring interface by default. On CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the component uses a special loadable kernel module, which is supplied completely assembled with the product.

If necessary, you can build a loadable kernel module manually by using the supplied source codes for any GNU/Linux-based operating systems with kernel 2.6.x and newer.

Additional Packages

X Window System graphics subsystem and any window manager – to enable startup of the GUI programs for product installation and removal in graphics mode.

xterm or xvt terminal emulator – to start in graphics mode the product installer or uninstaller, designed for the command line, and for automatic starting of the interactive setup script during the GUI installation.

For correct operation with user privileges, PAM must be installed in the operating system.

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).

Supported File Servers

Samba File Service

For integration with Samba file service, the installed and configured file server Samba 3.0 and newer is required.

The SpIDer Guard for SMB monitor uses a special VFS SMB module for the integration with the Samba server. With SpIDer Guard for SMB, several versions of this module which are built for various versions of Samba are supplied. 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 the Samba server uses the CLUSTER_SUPPORT option.

In case of incompatibility of the VFS SMB module with the Samba server, the corresponding message is shown during the Dr.Web for UNIX File Servers product installation. In this case, build the VFS SMB module for your Sambа server from the supplied source codes manually (including the compatibility with the CLUSTER_SUPPORT option if necessary).

The procedure of building the VFS SMB module from the supplied source codes is described in Appendix G.

 

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.

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