Anyone else any experience with sophos under linux, or more importantly sophie under suse 9.1? Any suggestions folks?
You can find the spec file that we use to build the sophie package at http://www.fensystems.co.uk/downloads/ingredients/sophie.spec Any required patches can be found in the same directory. You might also be interested in our "mysophobia" package, which provides the equivalent of Sophos Enterprise Manager for Linux: it will download the latest software for whichever platforms you specify, together with any necessary .ide files. For Windows, it creates a directory that can be your Sophos CID; for Linux, it builds RPMs for sophos, libsavi etc and provides a script "sav-update" that can be run to update a Linux machine from these RPMs (and the .ide files). It will even send a SIGHUP to sophie to notify it of new .ide files, or restart sophie if a new version of libsavi is installed. It's GPL software; if you want it, grab the tarball from http://www.fensystems.co.uk/downloads/ingredients/mysophobia-1.1.tar.bz2 Any problems, let me know. It's tested under Mandrake, but there will probably be small idiosyncrasies that need tweaking to get it to run under SuSE. Michael
