Details
Sophos Anti-Virus version 9 is supported for use with mainstream Linux distributions such as RedHat Linux and UBUNTU.
Note to UBUNTU users. Please use release v.10.4LTS of UBUNTU, or better, in order to have on-access scanning available without having to modify the kernel.
You must have “root” privileges to install Sophos AV. The installer script will first unpack compressed files and then will attempt to connect to the Sophos server using the embedded set of access credentials to download all necessary files, including current virus definitions. The Internet connection must be active during this process.
The entire process can take some time depending of the speed of your connection to the Internet. Don’t be surprised if it takes 5 to 10 minutes or longer. The process will typically end with a message indicating successful conclusion.
Post-installation Notes
UW distribution of Sophos AV for Linux is preconfigured to install the application in the following directory on your computer: /opt/sophos-av
The graphical interface is turned off. The on-access scan option is turned on. To turn on graphical interface after installation, run as “root” /opt/sophos-av/bin/savsetup .
Manage the installed Sophos AV using web interface by default on port 8081 <http://localhost:8081>
Some distributions of Linux will only support on demand scan. Please refer to the Supported Kernels information to determine if your OS supports on-access scan.
If your system uses kernel 2.6.37+ and fails to build or install on-access scan option you could use the alternate solution “Fanotify” instead of the supported by Sophos “Talpa”. More information on this option can be found here Fanotify Overview
