Signature Updates Updating a Snap Server That Does Not Have Internet Access If you have Snap Servers that do not have Internet access, use the following procedures to download the signature files to a machine with Internet access and then copy them to the Snap Server. Tip When retrieving signature updates, the antivirus software attempts to connect to all the sites in the site list in the order they are listed. To avoid delays or superfluous error messages, delete the default FTP option from the list on Snap Servers that have no Internet access. 1 Using a workstation with Internet access, go to ftp://ftpav.ca.com/pub/ inoculan/scaneng and download the following files. • All *.tar files containing the word Linux, e.g., fi_Linux_i386.tar and ii_Linux_i386.tar • All *.txt files containing the string Sig, e.g., Siglist.txt and Siglist2.txt 2 Using a method appropriate to your environment, copy the update files to a Snap Server (or any FTP or Windows/SMB server). Tip If using a Snap Server, copy the files to the root of a share. You can configure other Snap Servers to automatically get their signature updates from a single Snap Server (see following procedure). To do so, the update files must reside on the root of a share, not a subdirectory within a share. 3 Choose Scanner > Signature Update Options, and click the Incoming tab. 4 Click the Add button, and select Local Path from the Method pull-down menu. 5 In the Path field, enter the path to the directory on the server on which the update file resides. If you are using a Snap Server, the path would be similar to the following: /shares/SHARE1/sigfiles. where SHARE1/sigfiles is the share path to the directory containing the signature update files. 6 Click OK. The path appears in the list box. 7 Click Download Now. Distributing Updates from One Server to Another When retrieving signature updates, the antivirus software attempts to connect to all the sites in the site list in the order they are listed. To avoid delays or superfluous error messages, delete the default FTP option from the list on Snap Servers that have no Internet access. Chapter 9 CA eTrust Antivirus Software 77
