SAV general config questions

gossamer

Hi,

I have sophos antivirus for linux installed on fedora20 and have a few general configuration questions.

Is it the savd that is responsible for automatically updating the antivirus signatures and engine? Will it automatically update the engine when a new one is available, or must that be done manually?

Is it possible to control the virus database update times, or does it always just update once per hour on the half-hour?

How can I change the host the web interface is running on? I don't have a web browser running on the local machine, so I can't access it through localhost.

Where is the documentation that describes the different parameters described in savd.cfg?

Thanks,

Alex

    1) savd runs savupdate at a frequency set by UpdatePeriodMinutes configuration option, starting from when savd is started. savupdate will do all updates, including engine/data/product, as these are all delivered together.

    2) The WebUI is always localhost for security. You can use ssh port forwarding if you want to access it from elsewhere.

    3) Don't edit savd.cfg directly - it is controlled by savd. Use savconfig to change the configuration.
