Endpoint Protection

Does SEP client package which comes under (SAVfor Linux) folder for SEP 12.1Ru2 supports RHEL 5x -6x.....If yes do we have any supporting artcile for the same.

Note :- I am not looking for the installation guide which is mention in this link.

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/products/symantec_antivirus/symantec_antivirus_corp/10.1/manuals/SAV_Linux_Impl.pdf

(http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH101598)

This Kb also does not talk much about what I am looking for.

The Implementation Guide shows support for the following distros:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.7, kernel 2.6.18-274.18.1.el5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8, kernel 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2, kernel 2.6.32-220.13.1.el6
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3, kernel 2.6.32-279.el6

Hello,

Symantec AntiVirus for Linux 1.0 Maintenance Release 14 provides support to RHEL 5x and 6x.

Other than the Article: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH101598 you may check this Article below:

SAV for Linux does not run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH138546

It states, "Kernel support for RHEL 6.0 and RHEL 6.1 are included in SAV for Linux 1.0 MR 11".

In other words, SAV Linux MR14 surely supports RHEL 5x and 6x.

Hope that helps!!

Hi Shaizad

I believe you should be fine with SAVFL MR14 (the latest release).  If for any reason the auto-protect modules do not load automatically, you can compile your own:
