1. Introduction

This User Guide describes the usage of ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell Netware Server (or just ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell), namely: installation of the product, configuration of individual modules, updating of the product. ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell consists of the following NLM modules: AMON.NLM on-access scanner, which automatically scans files accessed from the network or locally, or files saved to the server. NOD32.NLM on-demand scanner, which can be directed to scan certain groups of files on the disk (usually folders, volumes, or the whole hard disk). In this case, it is only a single action after it is completed, the NOD32.NLM module is removed from memory. NOD32UP2.NLM module providing a virus signature database update for the modules AMON.NLM and NOD32.NLM.

2. Installation

Create a directory named, for example NOD32, on volume SYS: and copy files from the installation packages for the ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell into it. It is recommended to enable automatic startup of AMON.NLM and NOD32.NLM after each start of the server. We recommend enabling the startup using the system file AUTOEXEC.NCF with these commands: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/AMON LOAD SYS:/NOD32/NOD32UPD [parameters] Individual parameters are described in the following chapters. In the case of the module AMON, it is recommended to provide accessibility of the file AMON.CFG, which will transfer configuration to AMON at startup.
and insert the following into it: recipient=network_administrator_login notify clean delete log Then load AMON - memory-resident monitor using the following command on the Novell system console: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/AMON.NLM With the above mentioned setting, AMON will send information about infiltrations to the user network_administrator_login, but also to a user, who manipulated with the infected file (parameter notify). At the same time, AMON will attempt to clean the infected file, and if it is not possible, the file will be deleted. Next, it is required to provide updates for ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell. This product does not download virus updates from Internet update servers, but it uses a mirror directory created for example by NOD32 for Windows Professional Edition. The mirror directory must be located on the same hard disk as the installation of ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell (let us assume it is located in SYS:/PUBLIC/ MIRROR). To configure the mirror correctly, run this command on the console to set up and launch the NOD32UP2. NLM module: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/NOD32UP2.NLM SYS:/PUBLIC/MIRROR/ -update -period=60 Now ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell will be updated from the mirror directory SYS:/PUBLIC/MIRROR every hour (parameter -period=60). It is recommended to enable automatic startup of AMON.NLM and NOD32UP2.NLM at each server startup using system file AUTOEXEC.NCF.

3. Modules

AMON.NLM To load AMON, use the following command on the system console: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/AMON To unload AMON from memory, use the following command: UNLOAD AMON
Quick guide through the complete installation
Extract the installation package. eg: into volume SYS:/ NOD32. Also, it is recommended to create file AMON.CFG
AMON.CFG If there is present the file AMON.CFG in the directory with the module AMON.NLM, configuration from AMON. CFG will be transferred to AMON at its startup. Syntax of the file AMON.CFG is as follows (each line may contain one of the following switches one switch per line): onread+ (default setting) Files will be tested in a moment when a command to open/read is detected. The opposite switch is: onreadonwrite+ (default setting) Files are tested at the moment when a command to create/modify is detected. The opposite switch is: onwriteonrename+ (default setting) Files are tested at the moment when a command to rename is detected. The opposite switch is: onrenameall (default setting) All files are tested. Otherwise, if the parameter allis used, only extensions defined by the Eset Company are tested. notify When an infiltration is detected, AMON sends a message to the user who attempted to access the infected file (using the NetWare Message PopUp Service). recipient=user1, user2. When an infiltration is detected, AMON sends a message to all users in the list. It is possible to list more users in this case, use commas to delimit them see the example above. Other parameters: pattern log logappend logrewrite clean rename delete heur heursafe

heurstd heurdeep These switches are identical to those used in module NOD32.NLM. They are described below (when entering parameters, always omit the hyphen). NOD32.NLM To run the NOD32 diagnostic scan or clean, enter the command as follows: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/NOD32 [parameters] [path list] If [path list] is not entered, NOD32 will automatically scan whole disk. Parameters: -? -h -help Displays list of parameters with descriptions. -subdir+ (default setting) Enables testing of subdirectories. The opposite switch is: -subdir-pack+ Enables testing of internally compressed files. The opposite switch is: -pack- (default setting) -arch+ Enables testing of archives (ZIP, RAR, ARJ.). The opposite switch is: -arch- (default setting) -pattern+ (default setting recommended) Enables testing using virus signatures. The opposite switch is: -pattern-heur+ (default setting recommended) Enables detection using a heuristics method. The opposite switch is: -heurThere are three levels of heuristics analysis sensitivity: -heursafe -heurstd (default setting recommended) -heurdeep Actions to take after an infiltration is found can be modified with the following parameters. The parameters can be suitably combined with each other. For example, parameters -clean -delete provide that an infected file, which cannot be cleaned, will be deleted. In case of the module AMON.NLM, not using any of the three fol-
lowing parameters will result only in blocking access to infected files. -clean Automatically cleans infected files. -rename Renames infected files. -delete Deletes infected files. -prompt (not available for AMON.NLM) Displays a dialog window individually on every infected file. -log+ (default setting) Enables logging to file (file NOD32.LOG, or AMON. LOG). The opposite switch is: -logLog maintenance: -logappend (default setting) New information is attached to the end of existing log file. -logrewrite Logfile will be deleted with each modules startup. -log=<filename> Use this parameter to create your own log file. Other parameters: -list+ Enables listing of all scanned objects. The opposite switch is: -list- (default setting) Configuration a practical example: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/NOD32 -pack+ -arch+ -clean -delete (Control of the whole disk including internally compressed files and archives. In case an infiltration is found, a file will be cleaned or deleted.) NOD32UP2.NLM This product does not download virus updates directly from Internet update servers, but it uses a mirror directory created, for example, by ESET NOD32 Antivirus 2.7 Mirror Server (LAN Update Server). The mirror directory must be located on the same hard disk as the installation of ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Novell.

The syntax is as follows: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/NOD32UP2 mirror_directory [folder_ with_NLM_modules] [parameters] Only mirror_directory, or a path to the mirror folder is required. This folder will provide update files for the modules NOD32.NLM and AMON.NLM. [directory_with_NLM_modules] is optional in case the file NOD32UP2.NLM is located in the directory together with files NOD32.NLM and AMON.NLM. Possible parameters: -update Provides NOD32 updates (otherwise, available updates will be displayed only). -period=n This parameter triggers update attempts every n minutes. We recommend updating every hour (-period=60). -show_retvals Use of this parameter returns all possible return values with brief comments. -help Will list all parameters with brief comments. Special parameters: -no_signature This parameter can be used to avoid error No. 107. The error means that update files have an invalid digital signature. Update - a practical example: LOAD SYS:/NOD32/NOD32UP2.NLM SYS:/PUBLIC/MIRROR/ -update -period=60 (The modules AMON.NLM and NOD32.NLM will be updated every hour from the mirror directory: SYS:/ PUBLIC/MIRROR/).
