Description

Installs and manages Sophos Antivirus for Linux (free edition).

Setup

What sophos_av affects

  • /opt/sophos-av
  • systemd components

Beginning with sophos_av

Basically just: include sophos_av

Usage

I'm not writing out what the options actually do right now, so take a look at init.pp/params.pp to get a list of what options there are.

At a minimum, you -must- set source_package to a location where the module can retrieve the install tarball. ie:

class { '::sophos_av':
  source_package => 'http://mypackages.example.org/sav-linux-free-9.tgz',
}

Reference

Options you can pass to the class mostly map directory to SAV options. For configuration assistance and help figuring out what options mean: Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux configuration guide
