SunScreen 3.2 Installation Guide

Operating System Package Requirements

Ensure that the required Solaris software packages reside on the Screen and the Administration Station as described below.


Note -

Install third-party content scanning products on a system separate from your SunScreen firewall to avoid possible security risks, as well as to avoid overloading your system when the content is large.


Solaris Software Packages for the Screen

When installing the SunScreen software on your Screen remotely from an Administration Station or if you choose to use the command-line interface instead of the administration GUI, install the Solaris Core Distribution software as well as the packages listed in the following table from your Solaris CD, if not already on your system.


Note -

When installing only the Solaris Core Distribution software, either change your DISPLAY variable for using the installer to a windowing system or install SunScreen using the command-line installation procedure described in the "Command Line Installation" appendix in this manual.


When installing the SunScreen software on your Screen locally, install the Solaris End User Distribution software as well as the packages listed in the following table from your Solaris CD, if not already on your system.
