Installing RALUS client on Debian with 3.0 kernel
1. Unpack the archive provided by Symantec
tar xzf RALUS_RMALS_RAMS-2896.9.tar.gz
2. Stop the RALUS service if it is already installed and runnig
/etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init stop
3. Very important, if you are under a 64 bit Linux you have to this
- Extract debian package :
tar xzf RALUS64/pkgs/Linux/VRTSralus.tar.gz
- Install debian package :
dpkg -i VRTSralus-13.0.2896-0.x86_64.deb
- Start installation :
./RALUS64/installralus
If you get "./installralus: line 50: ../perl/Linux/bin/perl: No such file or directory", simply edit ./RALUS64/installralus, and change line 50 :
from:
if [ $LOCAL_PERL -eq 1 ] ; then ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ./installralus.pl $* else perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME ../installralus.pl $* fi
to:#if [ $LOCAL_PERL -eq 1 ] ; then # ../perl/$OS/bin/perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME -I../perl/$OS/lib/$PERL_VER ./installralus.pl $* #else perl -I.. -I$PATH -I$VXIF_HOME ../installralus.pl $* #fi
C) If the installation is sucessful but VRTSralus refuses to start, launch /opt/VRTSralus/bin/beremote –-log-console to see the error.
If you get error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory you simply need to install the package :
- Under Debian : apt-get install libstdc++5
However the service will fail to start afterwards.
Change into ralus directory
#cd /opt/VRTSralus/bin
Make a backup of libbesocket.so
#cp libbesocket.so libbesocket.so.orig
Install objdump
apt-get install binutils binutils-multiarch
Disassemble the binary to a file
#objdump -D libbesocket.so > libbesocket.asm
Open file and search for ‘$0x8938?
#nano libbesocket.asm
Type ctrl+w to search
Type '$0x8938' and press enter
Find the following lines and locate the hex highlighted in red in front of the jump-no-sign instruction.
In my case it happens to be ’79 19?.
23840: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax
23842: be 38 89 00 00 mov $0x8938,%esi
23847: e8 2c df fe ff callq 11778 <ioctl@plt>
2384c: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax
2384e: 79 19 jns 23869 <_Z10getifaddrsPP7ifaddrs+0xb9>
23850: e8 d3 df fe ff callq 11828 <__errno_location@plt>
23855: 83 38 16 cmpl $0x16,(%rax)
23858: 0f 85 40 03 00 00 jne 23b9e <_Z10getifaddrsPP7ifaddrs+0x3ee>
2385e: c7 84 24 ec 00 00 00 movl $0x20,0xec(%rsp)
Install hex editor and open the file
#apt-get install hexer
#hexer libbesocket.so
Search for the hex we found earlier
Type '/' to search
Type '\xx 79 19' and press enter
NOTE: Only change the code where the hex matches the preceeding chunks of code in the middle column earlier in that exact order. This is what my line looked like.
00023840: 31 c0 be 38 89 00 00 e8 2c df fe ff 85 c0 78 19 1..8....,.....x.
Using arrow keys move cursor into position and change value from ’79’ to ’78’
Type 'r' to edit
Type '78' and press enter
Type ':wq' and press enter to quit while saving
Now go and start the service
/etc/init.d/VRTSralus.init start
Please Register.
