I ordered the Solaris version and received a single CD-ROM that installs on all supported platforms (Unix and Win32). At first, I didn't find the distribution files for Solaris (the box came with NT docs, but I checked with the vendor, that I received a licence that is valid on Solaris). To my surprise, the Linux version on that media was 3.6, while the Solaris version was still at 3.5! Anyway, I tried the Linux version on a 4.2-STABLE box, just to compare the performance to that of our productive system, and found that the Linux version works just fine. > It seems this should work with ease; however, TrendMicro refuses to > disclose what "configuration adjustments" need to be made, citing that it's > not "officially supported" (ie: some of their programs have hard coded path > requirements, which they've been notified about from others who use this on > FreeBSD). Well, if you know about rc files and are not afraid to use symbolic links between file systems, all should be well ;-) I even considered creating a FreeBSD port, that installs VirusWall from a CD-ROM ... My trial period is over, but I have not yet de-installed the software from my test box, so I may help get you started, in case you find any problems. My only nit is, that you can't bind VirusWall to a single interface. My firewall architecture requires strictly independent configurations for incoming and outgoing messages. For that reason, I have separate instances of VirusWall for either direction, and it required some magic to get all the parts working together on a single box.
