Signature Updates
Chapter 9 CA eTrust Antivirus Software 77
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.

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.
