Kaspersky Lab kaspersky anti-virus 5.5 for proxy server Mode D'Emploi

# keepup2date –l 
/var/log/kav/5.5/kav4proxy/updatesreport.log 

If you need to update the anti-virus databases on several servers, it may be more 
convenient to download the updates from an update server once, save them to a 
shared directory, and mount the directory within the file system of every server 
running Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Then it will be sufficient to launch the update script 
having specified first the mounted directory as the source of updates. FTP and 
HTTP can also be used for sharing of the anti-virus databases. Please see 
section 4.1.3 on p. 23 for details related to creation of a shared directory for 
updates. 

 

Task: initiate updating of the anti-virus databases using the local 
/home/kluser/bases  directory as the source. Output the results to the 
/tmp/updatesreport.log file. 

 

Solution: to accomplish the task, log in as the root (or any other 
privileged user) and perform the following steps: 

1.  Mount the shared directory containing updates to the anti-virus 

databases, to the local /home/kluser/bases directory. 

2.  Enter the following in the command line: 

# keepup2date –l /tmp/updatesreport.log –g 
/home/kluser/bases 

 

You can also update the application remotely using the appropriate 
Webmin plug-in. 

4.1.3. Creating a shared directory for 

storing and sharing database updates  

To update the anti-virus databases correctly on local computers from the shared 
directory, you need to reproduce in that directory a file system structure that is 
similar to that of Kaspersky Lab’s update servers. This task deserves a detailed 
explanation.  

 

Task: create a shared local directory, which the local computers will use 
as the source to update their anti-virus databases. 

 

Solution: to accomplish the task, log in as the root (or any other 
privileged user) and do the following:
