ESET Gateway Security
Once ESET Gateway Security is successfully installed, you should become familiar with its
architecture.
The structure of ESET Gateway Security is shown in Figure 4-1. The system is comprised of
the following parts:
CORE
The Core of ESET Gateway Security is the ESETS daemon (esets_daemon). The daemon uses
ESETS API library libesets.so and ESETS loading modules em00X_xx.dat to provide base system
tasks such as scanning, maintenance of the agent daemon processes, maintenance of the
samples submission system, logging, noti cation, etc. Please refer to the esets_daemon (8) man
page for details.
AGENTS
The purpose of ESETS agent modules is to integrate ESETS with the Linux/BSD/Solaris Server
environment.
UTILITIES
The utility modules provide simple and e ective management of the system. They are
responsible for relevant system tasks such as license management, quarantine management,
system setup and update.
CONFIGURATION
Proper con guration is the most important aspect of a smooth-running security system–
the remainder of this chapter is dedicated to explaining all related components. A thorough
understanding of the esets.cfg  le (page 6) is also highly recommended, as this  le contains
information essential to the con guration of ESET Gateway Security.
After the product is successfully installed, all its con guration components are stored in the
ESETS con guration directory. The directory consists of the following  les:
