RHEL 6 Symantec Liveupdate problem
 

We have installed RHEL 6.3 on a VMWare VM. Downloaded and installed Symantec antivirus for Linux version 1.0.11. When we issue sav liveupdate -u received the following error:

Command failed: Problem with LiveUpdate.
Check that java directory is in PATH
Unable to perform update

We ran the alternatives --config java command and put that path in the PATH with no success. Still get the message.

Tried to update manually by downloading symcdefs-unix.sh script but got the message the uncompress utility was missing. Found in Google it was a Unix shared utilities but could not find the package to load it.

Has anyone successfully gotten LIVEUPDATE to run on Rhel 6.3 and update the virus dats either automatically or manually. If so, how did you do it?

Thanks

you are running a RHEL virtual install on ? what windows host ?
the Norton AV is looking for Microsoft windows viruses that are running ON microsoft os's
ones that can not run on linux , but might show up on a mail server in users emails

would in not be better to use the windows OS to look for windows viruses


then just keep SELinux set to ENFORCING on RHEL6.3


BUT
seeing as Norton is not free ( about $50 per year)
and RHEL6 is not free ( about $49 to $299 PER year)
you are paying 100 to $300 per year for support
you might want to use it

call Norton
and also use your PAID FOR Red Hat tech support

Symantec sends the following:


Follow these instructions and let me know of the results.

In GUI mode, open ConfEditor by following command.

cd /opt/Symantec/LiveUpdate/

<java bin path>/java -cp jlu.jar
com.symantec.liveupdate.config.editor.ConfEditor

Then add following properties and run LiveUpdate again.

properties downloadCacheSize

values 3072

^^^^ This worked for me on CentOS 6.3. Thanks

Hi.

I'm having this same problem too. It seems that when java is upgraded, the liveupdate consistenly will not run.

I wasn't quite understanding what the commands are doing, and i'm not in a GUI session, but on terminal.

<java bin path>/java -cp jlu.jar
com.symantec.liveupdate.config.editor.ConfEditor

Where are these properties getting added to?
Then add following properties and run LiveUpdate again.

properties downloadCacheSize
values 3072

Can this be done without an X session?

Thanks!
