Installing NetShield
====================
The following document provides installation procedures for NetShield. For
further information regarding NetShield, refer to your Using NetShield
manual or view the file NETSHLD.PDF using the Adobe Acrobat reader.
NetShield must be installed on every file server you want to be protected.
(Since NetShield is licensed per file server, please refer to your license
agreement in order to ensure proper legal compliance.)
If installing from a BBS/FTP/WEB release, unzip the files into a working
directory on your PC. Begin the install by running SETUP.
System Requirements
===================
Environment:
The following criteria must be met in order to run NetShield.
Network Loadable Module Requirements:
* Novell NetWare 3.X or 4.X, including NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
support
* Network Disk Space: 2 MB required
* RAM: Minimum of 718 K free on file server
NOTE: Additional patches are needed for NetWare 3.x or 4.x installations
(refer to the patches section below. NetShield is not compatible
with NetWare v3.10.
Administrator Console Requirements:
* Operating System: DOS 5.0 or greater
* User Interface: Microsoft Windows 3.1X in enhanced mode
* CPU: 386SX or higher
* RAM: 4 MB
* Workstation Disk Space: 7MB required
* Monitor: VGA or better
Required NetWare Patches
========================
Novell NetWare 3.x and 4.x File Server Requirements:
NetShield requires some NetWare update files for NetWare 3.x and 4.x.
These updates are supplied with the CD-ROM distributions in the file
LIBUP8.EXE. This file is available from Novells NetWire service and is
also available from the McAfee BBS and FTP site.
* From Novell, refer to the Novlib Forum on CompuServe, the ftp.novell.com
anonymous ftp site on the Internet, or other Novell on-line services.
* From McAfee, download it from the McAfee BBS under File Area "P"
(for Patches), or from the mcafee.com ftp site in the pub/patches directory.
The INSTALL.EXE program from LIBUP8.EXE will automatically copy all
appropriate files to update your NetWare 3.1x or 4.x file server. Simply
expand LIBUP8.EXE, view INSTALL.DOC, and then run INSTALL.
NOTE: After update installation, the file server must be downed and
restarted.
AIO.NLM and AIOCOMX.NLM are installed for use with the pager notification
option. If you intend to use pager notification on a NetWare file server,
Refer to "Enabling Pager Notification" in Chapter 5, "Notification and
Reporting," in your Using NetShield manual for more information.
NOTE 2: LIBUP7.EXE has been withdrawn by Novell. It is recommended that
LIBUP7 not be used.
STRTL4.EXE - NOVELL SUPPLIED PATCHES
------------------------------------
Problems with NetWare's ability to release some areas of short term
memory cause NetWare to occasionally issue short term memory allocation
messages when running NetShield. A Novell supplied file, SPXS.NLM as
supplied in STRTL4.EXE will provide a work around for this problem.
STRTL4.EXE also contains additional patches which are recommended for
NetShield. NetWare 3.12 users should apply SPXDDFIX.NLM. NetWare 3.11
users should apply SPXFIX2.NLM.
Installation Instructions
=========================
Before Installation
To install NetShield, you must:

For example: MAP NEXT MYSERVER\SYS:
* Have at least 7 MB disk space available on the PC that will be running
the Windows console for the NetShield program.
* Have at least 2 MB available on the file server that will be running
the network loadable module.
Use the following procedure to install NetShield on your network.
You can exit the installation at any time by choosing Exit in the lower
right corner of the installation screen, or by pressing F3.

process occurs, the log file will be displayed automatically.
