Linux install : add computer directly in specific group of the Entreprise Console

Hello AlexAbou Adam,

please see using the --sec-group parameter with Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux package creator mkinstpkg. It is also mentioned in this thread.

The problem is that I package with pbuilder, not with mkinstpkg.... How can I do ?

And in plus, if I ve well understood, the sec-group parameter works with install.sh but should not .... ??

Hello AlexAbou Adam,

pbuilder
what's the advantage of it in your environment? But anyway, --sec-group works with install.sh (it's other parameters which don't or didn't work the same way).

The advantage is that we send our package into a custom repository (with reprepro) , so we need changelog, .desc, .deb and .tar.gz. mkinstpkg can't allow that.

Thank you again for your help :)

Hello AlexAbou Adam,

I'm a Linux illiterate and a packaging idiot. I understand the part about reprepro. You'd anyway have to create a package from the CID, supply the metainformation, and run install.sh with the required parameters. Admittedly this is a "universal" installer An archive built by. mkinstpkg also contains an install.sh. So in principle there shouldn't be much difference (actually from an idiot's POV mkinstpkg's output seems to be a better fit).  

BTW: SAV is self-updating so you'd need the package(s) only for initial install. It's a good idea to rebuild the packages regularly but monthly (whenever new Detection data are released) should suffice.
