CID Server support different OS's

maeglin
I would like to create a CID server on Linux that provides updates to Linux, Unix and Windows clients. The clients do not have access to the Internet. The CID server shares a directory with the clients and can retrieve its own updates. The "mkinstpkg" tool creates an OS-specific installer which will not work on the other systems. Are the alternate OS files even on the CID server? If this will not work, are there instructions for downloading the update data directly so the CID server can store the update files for the other operating systems? Sincerely

    " Have you already installed Sophos on them (the non-Linux ones, then it's likely the standalone/unmanaged version) - and was your idea that they get their updates via the share on the Linux server?"


    This is a new installation, so we have some flexibility; however, there are no Microsoft OS's on the network. I have not installed the management console. Would that help at all? I have only experimented with the CID server install.


    The plan was for the clients to get the original install package and future updates from the Linux server CID.


    Correct. The idea is to use the Linux server to share the files for the isolated end-points. The easiest thing for me is to SSH+rsync a directory on the Linux server into the isolated network. I can easily write scripts to retrieve any data files and copy them into this shared directory.


    I am open to other approaches. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
