According to the support tech with whom I spoke, yes it does real-time detection. There are some "unadvertised differences" in the Linux port. For example: -Remote deployment is not available. You have to install it manually on the machine. -It requires the official Oracle Java packages. OpenJDK or otherwise won't work. -Linux installation steps published in the official SEP docs are wrong. You'll need to call tech support for the real info. -As much as Symantec says there is a GUI front end, I haven't been able to get it to work. It's a background service with CLI tools (for servers, this is fine). -I have been able to successfully install managed and unmanaged clients on RHEL 7, SUSE, and Ubuntu 14.04 without problems. Hope that helps. -- Pete Orrall [email protected] www.peteorrall.com "If there isn't a way, I'll make one." _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
