2 Product Information
You are responsible for numerous workstations and servers in your network but you are
only human.
The servers are the heart of the network. So if viruses can freely penetrate and spread on
your servers, your network is only a step away from breakdown. This is where AntiVir
products for servers come in.
Product Information
UNIX computers are more often used as file servers or email gateway servers. Thus they
transfer and store files that have no connection to UNIX, e.g. Office documents and email
attachments. So, viruses can access a server through a Windows Client and freely cause
damage.
Avira AntiVir UNIX Server is a comprehensive and flexible tool for confronting viruses
and unwanted programs on your server and for reliable protection of your system.
Right from the beginning, two really important hints:
Losing valuable files usually has dramatic consequences. Not even the
best antivirus software can fully protect you against data loss.
Ensure that you make regular backups of your files.
An antivirus program can be reliable and effective only if kept up to
date.
Ensure that you keep your AntiVir programs up to date using
automatic updates as described in this user guide.

correctly at all times.
Avira AntiVir UNIX Server.
2.2 Licensing Concept
You must have a license to use Avira AntiVir UNIX Server and accept the license terms
(see http://www.avira.com/documents/general/pdf/en/avira_eula_en.pdf).
There are different license types for using the various functions of Avira AntiVir UNIX
Server:
•Demo version
•Full version
• Convenience Package
The license depends upon the number of users in the network who are to be protected by
AntiVir.
The license is given in a license file named hbedv.key . You will receive it by email from
Avira GmbH. It contains certain data, such as the programs you will use and the period of
your license. The same license file may refer to more AntiVir products.
Demo Version
Without a license file, the AntiVir software runs as a demo version. It cannot detect the
viruses and the other unwanted programs, which the licensed version detects. It only
detects test signatures. Therefore, the demo version can only be used to test the features
and operation of the software, as well as the integration with certain processes. It does
not provide any protection against malware. You cannot perform automatic updates, so
you always have to download the current virus definition files and the new versions of
AntiVir scan engine manually from our website.

3 Installation
You can find the current version of AntiVir UNIX Server on the Internet. If you have a
Convenience Package AntiVir CD-ROM, you may also install the product from it.
AntiVir is supplied as a packed archive. It contains AntiVir Guard, AntiVir Command line
scanner and the Internet Updater.
You will be guided step by step throughout the installation procedure. This Chapter is
divided into the following sections:
• Getting the Installation Files – Page 11
• Licensing – Page 12
• Installing the Dazuko Kernel Module – Page 12
• Integration on Samba – Page 14
• Installing AntiVir – Page 16
• Reinstalling AntiVir – Page 22
• Installing AntiVir UNIX Server Using the Graphical Installation Routine – Page 23
• Integrating Third-Party Products – Page 30
Installation
3.1 Getting the Installation Files
Downloading the Installation Files from the Internet
Download the current version file from our website http://www.avira.com
to your local computer. The file name is
antivir-server-prof-<version>.tar.gz (without graphical installer) or
antivir-server-linux-gui_installer.tar.gz (with graphical installation routine).
Save the file in a /tmp folder on the computer on which you want to run AntiVir
UNIX Server.
Getting the Installation Files from CD-ROM
On the AntiVir CD-ROM open
/EN/PRODUCTS/UNIX/SERVER or
/EN/PRODUCTS/UNIX/GUI_INSTALLERS/.
Copy the file antivir-server-prof-<version>.tar.gz or
antivir-server-linux-gui_installer.tar.gz in a directory, for example in
/tmp.
Unpacking Program Files
We will now describe the unpacking of the product kit without graphical installation
routine:
Go to the temporary directory:
cd /tmp
Unpack the archive containing the AntiVir kit:
tar xzvf antivir-server-prof-<version>.tar.gz
In the temporary directory will then appear antivir-server-prof-<version> .
Change to the following directory:
Avira GmbH Avira AntiVir UNIX Server
11
Installation
cd /tmp/antivir-server-prof-<version>/contrib/dazuko
Unpack the archive containing the dazuko kernel module:
tar xzvf dazuko-<version>tar.gz
The dazuko-<version> directory is created.
3.2 Licensing
You must have an AntiVir license in order to use the full product (see Licensing Concept –
Page 8). The license comes in a file named hbedv.key.
This license file contains information regarding the scope and period of the license.
Without the license file, AntiVir UNIX Server runs only as a demo version with restricted
features.
Purchasing the License
You may contact us by telephone or by email (info@avira.com) to acquire a license file
for AntiVir UNIX Server.
You will receive the license file by email.
You can easily acquire AntiVir UNIX Server using our Online Shop (for details, visit
http://www.avira.com).
Copying the License File
Copy the license file hbedv.key to the installation directory on your system
./tmp/antivir-server-prof-<version>
You can also perform the installation without having a license key
from the beginning. AntiVir UNIX Server will then run as demo
version.
You can copy the license file at any time to the AntiVir program
directory /usr/lib/AntiVir .
3.3 Installing the Dazuko Kernel Module
Dazuko kernel module is required by all platforms to allow AntiVir Guard functionality.
Dazuko is necessary for installing the AntiVir Guard resident scanner.
AntiVir can be installed even without dazuko, but in this case it will
run without AntiVir Guard. See more details in Installing AntiVir
without AntiVir Guard – Page 16.
You must compile the module yourself because your UNIX kernel and Dazuko must be
based on the same source files. This is the only way you can ensure that Dazuko will have
access to the same system functions as your UNIX kernel.
12 Avira AntiVir UNIX Server Avira GmbH
Installation
If your distribution supplier offers an exact matching module to your
kernel:
Skip the following step.
Check the name of the module on the system (you might use this
information for further installation of AntiVir Guard). Use the
following command:
find /lib/modules/‘uname -r‘ -name ’dazuko*’
The installation pack for SunOS (Sparc and i386) contains a binary
module and you do not have to install it on this platform yourself.
The procedure is described, so that you do not need expert knowledge to perform it.
Nevertheless, knowledge of UNIX kernel compilation is needed, especially when errors
are encountered. Further information on this can be found at:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html
Compiling Dazuko
3 Make sure that the source code for UNIX kernel is in /usr/src/linux . If not, install it
there. Information on this subject can be found in your UNIX provider
documentation.
3 Check if you have on your computer the kernel compiling programs (for example gcc).
This also applies to UNIX standard installations. If not, install the required packages.
Information on this subject can be found in your UNIX provider documentation.
3 Your UNIX kernel must be based on the source code from /usr/src/linux, as in most
cases, especially in a UNIX reinstallation. You can only be absolutely certain by
recompiling the installed kernel using exactly these sources.
Go to the temporary directory where you unpacked Dazuko, for example:
cd /tmp/antivir-server-prof-<version>/contrib/dazuko/
dazuko-<version>
Check the configuration of your computer with the configure script. Based on this
information, it will provide appropriate guidance for further installation of the
software:
If you are not certain about your UNIX kernel status, you should
proceed with the installation. In the worst case, Dazuko will not be
integrated into your UNIX kernel and the AntiVir Guard will not
start. A message will be displayed and you can solve the situation
afterwards.
./configure
Compile Dazuko:
make
Optionally: verify if the newly installed module works with the computer's running
kernel:
make test
Avira GmbH Avira AntiVir UNIX Server
13
Installation
Depending on your operating system, you will receive the file dazuko.o or dazuko.ko
in the temporary directory. AntiVir installation script will prompt for the path to
this file later.
Further information on Dazuko can be found on the website:
http://www.dazuko.org. You may find distribution-specific details already documented
in the FAQ section.
3.4 Integration on Samba
You need AntiVir Backend for samba-vscan on all platforms in order to use the full
features of AntiVir Samba Scanner.
You need AntiVir Backend for samba-vscan if you want transparent monitoring of the file
access via Samba Service.
You can initially install AntiVir without samba-vscan. In this case,
AntiVir runs without the Samba Scanner. You may still ensure
appropriate protection of the file release using AntiVir Guard. The
notifications to the remote users of the files are then implemented
with the option ExternalProgram in AntiVir Guard and with own
logic (for example, using UNIX scripts).
You have to create the AntiVir Backend for samba-vscan yourself (obtained through a
VFS Plug-in for Samba) because your Samba Service and the Backend must be based on
the same sources. Only this will ensure correct functionality of the VFS Plug-in and the
stability of your file server.
To proceed with this step, you will need knowledge of Samba compiling and samba-vscan.
Detailed information is found in the source pack documentation and on the websites of
these projects.
Preparing Samba
3 Check that your system contains the programs needed for compiling sources (gcc,
make etc.). This might be the case for standard UNIX installations. If necessary,
install the program packs. You can find more information in the documentation of
your UNIX distribution.
3 Make sure that you have the source text for samba-vscan in version 0.3.5 or newer on
your system. There is a patch for version 0.3.5 which implements AntiVir Backend.
Samba-vscan includes AntiVir Backend from version 0.3.6.
3 Make sure you have the exact version of Samba sources that you use for the file
server. You do not have to translate and install the entire Samba sources, only sambavscan pack. The installation of the translated Samba is of course the best way to
ensure that the Service and VFS plugin match one another.
If your distributor has included an AntiVir Backend suited for your
Samba Server:
Skip the next step.
Check the name of the Backend and of the corresponding
configuration file on the system. Use the following command:
find /usr -name ’vscan-antivir.so’
find /usr -name ’vscan-antivir.conf*’
14 Avira AntiVir UNIX Server Avira GmbH
Installation
Change to the temporary directory where you have unpacked Samba. For example:
cd /tmp
gunzip < samba-<version>tar.gz | tar xf -
cd samba-<version>/source
Check the configuration of your system with the configure script and based on the
details it finds create the corresponding information regarding further translation of
the software:
./configure
Create the additional information needed by samba-vscan:
make proto
Go to the temporary directory where you unpacked samba-vscan. For example:
cd /tmp
bunzip2 < samba-vscan-0.3.5.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
cd samba-vscan-0.3.5
Unpack the archive with AntiVir Backend for samba-vscan. This contains AntiVir
sources as a patch, which applies to samba-vscan 0.3.5 and integrates AntiVir
Backend. Apply the patch (starting with samba-vscan version 0.3.6, this step is no
longer needed because AntiVir Backend is already included).
gunzip < /tmp/samba-vscan-antivir-0.3.5.tar.gz |
tar xf -
patch -p0 < patch-sambavscan-hookup.diff
Configure and translate samba-vscan. For this, you have to indicate the Samba
sources:
./configure --with-samba-source=/tmp/samba-<version>/
source
make
make install
You can use a configuration example for AntiVir samba-vscan Backend, which is
provided for some settings:
cp antivir/vscan-antivir.conf /usr/local/samba/lib
To integrate AntiVir Samba Scanner in smb.conf for monitoring of the released files, you
must activate the vscan-antivir.so plug-in (see Configuring AntiVir Samba Scanner –
Page 40). There is no need to start additional services apart from Samba, as the plug-in
vscan-antivir.so handles this aspect by itself.

Installation
3.5 Installing AntiVir
AntiVir is automatically installed using a script. This script performs the following tasks:
• Checks integrity of the installation files.
• Checks for the required permissions for the installation.
• Checks for an existing version of AntiVir on the computer.
• Copies the program files. Overwrites existing obsolete files.
• Copies AntiVir configuration files. Existing AntiVir configuration files are inherited.
• Optionally it creates a link in /usr/bin, so that AntiVir can be called from any folder
without needing a given path.
• Optionally it installs the Update Daemon and the resident scanner AntiVir Guard.
• Optionally it configures an automatic start for AntiVir Updater and AntiVir Guard on
system start-up.
The following steps must be taken for the initial installation:
• Preparing Installation – Page 16
• If Dazuko has not been compiled: Installing AntiVir without AntiVir Guard – Page 16
• If Dazuko has been compiled: Installing AntiVir with AntiVir Guard – Page 19
Preparing Installation
Login as root. Otherwise you do not have the required authorization for installation
and the script returns an error message.
Go to the directory in which you unpacked AntiVir:
cd /tmp/antivir-server-prof-<version>
Installing AntiVir without AntiVir Guard
If you have not compiled the Dazuko kernel module, you can only install AntiVir without
AntiVir Guard. AntiVir Guard can be easily installed later.
Type the command:
./install

3.6 Reinstalling AntiVir
You can launch the installation script at any time. There are several possible situations:
• Installing a new version (upgrade). The installation script checks the prior version
and installs the necessary new components. The configuration file settings already
made are not overwritten (see Configuration – Page 31) but are inherited.
• Later installation of some components, e.g. AntiVir Guard or Internet Update
Daemon.
• Activating or deactivating the automatic start of Internet Update Daemon or AntiVir
Guard.
Reinstalling AntiVir
The procedure applies to all these cases:
3 First of all, you have to make sure that AntiVir Guard is stopped:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avguard stop
Open the temporary directory where you unpacked AntiVir:
cd /tmp/antivir-server-prof-<version>
Type:
./install
The installation script performs as described in Installing AntiVir – Page 16).
Make the changes you need during installation procedure.
AntiVir is installed with the required features.
