Chapter 6. NOD32 system update and maintenance
At this point we would like you to notice that the creation of the mirror file structure at some
computers file system, is not enough to provide the fully featured NOD32LMS mirror. For
proper function of the newly created mirror there are additional conditions to be fulfilled. First,
as the utility nod32umc uses http protocol to download the NOD32 modules there must be a
http server installed on the computer where the modules are going to be downloaded from.
Second, the NOD32 modules to be downloaded by other computers have to be placed at the
directory path
/http-serv-base-path/nod_upd
where http-serv-base-path is a base http server directory path, as this is the first place where
nod32umc utility looks the NOD32 modules for.
6.3. Automatic update of the virus definitions database
The NOD32LMS comes with the script
/usr/sbin/nod32_update
used to provide user with a comfortable and reliable service concerned with the process of
NOD32 virus signatures database update.
6.3.1. Structure and use of automatic update script
The script is predefined to download NOD32 modules from the server
http://www.nod32.com
and to create the loading modules used by NOD32 scanner into
/var/lib/nod32
directory. This configuration can be, however, easily changed by simple editing the script in its
configuration part.
Even if the script does all the job in most cases without manual intervention into it, one has
still to define the username and password for NOD32 server authentication prior to using it. By
default the update script reads this setting from the so called ’authorization file’
/etc/nod32/nod32.auth
