Installation and Uninstallation of Kaspersky Anti-Virus 21
3.2. Software installation on a
server running FreeBSD or
OpenBSD
The installation package for Kaspersky Anti-Virus is supplied in a .tar.gz package
for servers running FreeBSD or OpenBSD operating systems.
In order to start installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus from a .tar.gz package,
enter the following text in the command line:
# pkg_add <package_name>
3.3. Installation process
The procedure for installing Kaspersky Anti-Virus is automatic and not
interactive. If any of the installation steps cannot be performed, the administrator
must perform it after the installation is complete.
The install process for Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Sendmail with Milter API
performs the following steps automatically:
1. Creating a group and a user account named kav under which Kaspersky
Anti-Virus will operate.
2. Adding application settings to the /var/db/kav/applications.setup file that
is used to update the anti-virus database and program modules.
3. Defining domains (i.e., mailboxes of these domains) that will be
protected by Kaspersky Anti-Virus. The default domain is the system
domain, including all domains derived from the hostname (if they exist).
For example, if the hostname of the target server is
srv1.subdomain.example.com, then the mail accounts of the following
domains will also be protected: example.com, subdomain.example.com
and srv1.subdomain.example.com.
4. Registering the kavmilterd service in the startup system.
5. Searching and automatically editing the Sendmail configuration to
integrate it with the anti-virus filter.
Prior to making any configuration changes, you must back up the original
Sendmail configuration. You can use this backup configuration if
Kaspersky Anti-Virus is uninstalled.
