[gentoo-user] f-secure linux security 7.03 on gentoo?

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

greets, gentoo-users,

at a customers site they have some company-license for f-secure-products.

I run a mail-gateway there, using gentoo, it runs amavisd which utilizes
clamav and fsav ... (the customer *wants* me to use both as he pays for
the f-secure-licenses ...)

Until now we used the f-secure-pkg "F-Secure Anti-Virus for Linux
Gateways version 4.65  build 7400" which was simply a tarball with some
sh-script, installation on gentoo was no problem.

Now they "improved" things, and we are told to use "F-secure Linux
Security 7.03" which is a much bigger package with web-gui and stuff. I
only need fsav so I tried the documented approach to install only
CLI-utilities.

Unfortunately they depend on the existance of rpm ...

What you you recommend? "emerge rpm" ? "rpm2targz" ?

Has anyone done this already, maybe even with that f-secure-stuff?

Thanks for any pointers, Stefan

Do not emerge rpm. That breaks stuff.

Just run rpm2targz, look inside tarball, apply brain power

Umm, thanks, did that. After some fiddling things look OK now.
Yes, I really *should* document what I have done now ... ;-)

What mail-server are your running there, may I ask?

I'm trying to get amavisd-new working with sendmail, but it is rather
difficult. There is only brief documentation with amavisd-new, I do not
know how to modify sendmail start-up script. Any help from someone
having experience with sendmail + amavisd-new would be appreciated.
(sorry for stealing topic)

By some accountings (

<http://www.av-comparatives.org/comparativesreviews/main-tests>

<http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02>

), Avira/Antivir is one of the better if not best virus/Trojan signature
scanners out there.

1. It provides transparent on-access scanning. You stipulate which
directories should be considered, and it monitors them. Much easier,
IMHO, than fooling with agents and servers.

2. In addition to Windows signatures and heuristics, it includes
hundreds of Linux/Unix Trojan, rootkit, and virus signatures - so I also
scan user directories where browsers and mail clients work, and work
directories where stuff is downloaded and compiled.

3.  It is remarkably easy to install - a script both installs the
scanner, and optionally builds the kernel module (dazuko) required to do
the on access scanning.
