System Requirements and Patches
Installation Instructions
Known Installation Problems
The following document provides installation procedures for NetShield. For
further information regarding NetShield, refer to your Using NetShield
manual.
Overview
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
CD-ROM, use the XCOPY /S command to copy the files into a working directory
on your PC. If installing from a BBS 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.
* Novell NetWare 3.X or 4.X, including NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
support
* Network Disk Space: 18 MB required, 25 MB recommended
* RAM: Minimum of 718 K free on file server
NOTE: Additional patches are needed for NetWare 3.11 or 3.12 installations
(refer to "Novell NetWare 3.11 and 3.12 File Server Requirements" later in
this chapter). 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
* Monitor: VGA or better
Workstation Requirements:
* Operating System: DOS 3.3 or greater
* RAM: Minimum of 640 K
Patches
=======
Novell NetWare 3.11 and 3.12 File Server Requirements:
NetShield requires some NetWare patch files for NetWare 3.11 and 3.12.
Use the following recommended versions (in parentheses) or higher:
* A3112.NLM (4.10A)
* AFTER311.NLM (4.10A)
* CLIB.NLM (3.12H)
* MATHLIB.NLM (3.12H)
* MATHLIBC.NLM (3.11H)
* NWSNUT.NLM (4.10G)
NetShield supplies these patches with the CD-ROM release. For BBS release
users, Novell supplies these patches in the LIBUP4.EXE file. To obtain this
file
* 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 LIBUP4.EXE will automatically copy all
appropriate files to update your NetWare 3.1x or 4.x file server.
NOTE: (After patch installation, the file server must be downed.)
AIO.NLM and AIOCOMX.NLM are required to use 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.
Installation Instructions
=========================
Before Installation
To install NetShield, you must:
* check for existing copies of NetShield and delete or rename them.
Failure to perform this step may cause problems resulting in incorrect
version display or server failures.
* Login to the network as a SUPERVISOR or equivalent
* Have a drive mapped to your SYS volume or a search drive
* Have at least 4.9 MB (6.8 MB is suggested) disk space available on the PC that will
be running the Windows console for the NetShield program, and at least
2.4 MB (2.6 MB is suggested) available for the On-Line Documentation
* Have at least 1.5 MB (3.5 MB is suggested) available on the file server
that will be running the file server NLMs
If you are installing from CD ROM, use the XCOPY /S command to make a working
copy of the NetShield distribution CD on your local workstation.
Installing NetShield
--------------------
Installing NetShield is quick and simple, requiring minimal user input.
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.
NOTE: Prior to installation, check for the existence of AIO.NLM and
AIOCOMX.NLM in SYS:\SYSTEM. If they exist, remove the Read Only
attribute from these files. Use the Novell supplied FLAG command or
FILER application for this operation. NetShield installation will abort
at 97% if these files exist and are marked Read Only.
NOTE: If you are installing on an SFT III system, be sure to load NetShield
from the MS engine. If you are currently running a previous version of
NetShield, the NLMs must be unloaded from the file server.
At the file server type:
UNLOAD NETSHLD
1. If you are installing from:
* CD ROM. Place the CD in your CD drive.
* BBS Release. Unzip the compressed files to a working directory on your
local workstation.
2. Choose File | Run from Program Manager and Browse for the
SETUP.EXE file in the appropriate directory, or type SETUP
at the DOS prompt.
NOTE: The log file INS220.LOG will be created and placed on your Windows
directory. The log file is an ASCII file listing the location of the
NetShield installation. The log file also lists any errors that
occurred during the installation. If an error that prevents the
completion of the install process occurs, the log file is displayed
automatically.
3. The Welcome dialog box will be displayed.
Ensure that you have Supervisor or equivalent rights to the destination
file server.
4. Choose Continue.
The Installation Configuration dialog box is displayed.
NOTE: The Installation Configuration dialog box displays the required space
and the suggested space on the selected volume of the current file
server. If there is insufficient space, you must choose a new
destination or cancel the installation.
5. Enter your company name in the Company Name text box.
6. Select a file server from the provided drop-down list box.
7. Enter the drive and path that the NetShield Windows Console should
be installed to, or choose Browse to locate a path.
8. Enter the drive and path that the NetShield Server NLMs should be
installed to, or choose Browse to locate a path.
9. Select the On-Line Documents check box to install the Adobe Acrobat
Installer Program (to view NetShield documentation on-line).
10. Choose Workstation Options and select the "Configure Desktop" check
box to instruct SETUP to create a McAfee group and program icon.
11. Choose the Server Options button and select the "Modify AUTOEXEC.NCF"
check box to instruct SETUP to modify your file servers AUTOEXEC.NCF
file to automatically load the NetShield NLM at file server startup.
If you choose to modify AUTOEXEC.NCF, NetShield will add a line containing
"NETSHLD.NCF" to your existing AUTOEXEC.NCF file. This line references the
NETSHLD.NCF file which contains necessary instructions to launch NETSHLD.NLM.
NOTE: If you choose not to modify the AUTOEXEC.NFC file during installation,
the NetShield NLM will have to be loaded manually. Refer to "Loading NLMs"
for details.
12. Choose Continue.
A dialog box is displayed with a percent completed bar.
If prompted, insert the remaining disks to complete the installation.
The Setup Information dialog box is displayed.
13. Choose OK to indicate that the installation is complete.
View the README file for any updated product information.
NetShield installation is complete. Refer to Chapter 3, "The NetShield
Console," for a description of NetShield's console and features.
Loading NLMs
NetShield must be loaded on the File Server Console. To load the NetShield
NLM, launch the NETSHLD.NCF file by typing:
NETSHLD
NOTE: For NetWare 4.X file servers, ensure that DSAPI.NLM is loaded as well.
If you had the SETUP program modify your AUTOEXEC.NCF file, the NetShield
NLM will be loaded with the file server startup sequence.
For more information about using the file server, refer to Chapter 7,
"The File Server Console" in your Using NetShield manual.
Known Installation Problems
===========================
Issue: Install will fail at approximately 97% while copying AIO.NLM
and AIOCOMX.NLM if these files already exist in SYS:\SYSTEM
and are marked READ-ONLY.
Solution: Prior to installation, rename AIO.NLM and AIOCOMX.NLM or remove
the Read-Only attribute from these files.
