Editing the /etc/liveupdate.conf
This is the first time I use symantec products on Linux platform.
I have successfully install the antivirus on a Unbutu 10.04 machine.
When I try to edit update setting (I would like to update the virus defination via my own server), I discover that the /etc/liveupdate.conf is not in human-readable format.
For testing purpose, I have make another copy of /etc/liveupdate.conf, using the suggested setting listed in the installation and operation guide of the SAVFL.
And then I start the update process my the command-line-interface manually.
It seems that the update process is completed (by viewing the log at /opt/Symantec/LiveUpdate/liveupdt.log), but the /etc/liveupdate.conf becomes non-human-readable once again.
Is this situation normal? And how can I browse the configuration executed?
Thanks.

Hi 5kin,
Confirmed: that is "by design." As soon as Java LiveUpdate runs for the first time, that file becomes encrypted.
I keep a copy of my conf file on the Ubuntu desktop, and then copy it into the /etc directory whenever I need to make any tweaks or changes to the SAVFL client's connectivity to the LUA server, etc

Hi again 5kin,
This article may also be of interest:
That tool makes altering or viewing the contents of that .conf file quite easy. Do be sure to launch the tool using "sudo" though!
Hope this helps! &: )
