We have QNOTES set as a user USER with IOSYSCONFIG. Proper ownership of the Domino Libraries and Domino IFS folders is set to QNOTES with RWX. We run nearly every Domino service in addition to the Domino servelet manager. I can only see giving QNOTES ALLOBJ as a last resort, especially if you have other things running on your iSeries. This works fine for us and has for years. As far as the scan engine download, we have unchecked that option and only download the pattern files. I always apply Scan Engines manually since we test everything we do in development first. Scan engine is current at 7.000-101. As far as I can tell the spam file has no use in the iSeries version, you cannot create a rule to use it. We have not enabled the Spam file download like the Windows or Solaris versions we run. Has anyone sucessfully used eManager Spam rules on iSeries? As far as this latest HOT FIX. I loaded it our development environment today. It is not installed as a PTF. It can only be removed manually. It does not change the Scanmail build # to Build 1584. It stays the same. From what I can see it installs four new files in the trendmicro library. I have backed up those files and have tested uninstalling the hotfix manually. I suggest you do the same. No way to really test the crash of PUPDATE since I have cleaned out the SMLN folders to keep my servers from crashing. I plan on applying this HOTFIX to one of my production iSeries Machines Tuesday, and if all goes well the rest of my servers next Sunday. I will post my production results on this latest Hotfix. As Far as Scanmail vs the Symantec product I have been using Trendmicro ScanMail for Lotus Notes on iSeries, Windows and Solaris since the product's inception. It has protected us without fail (as long as the virus pattern file can pick it up) for years. To me the Scanmail is superior to the Symantec product. Trendmicro does a better job releasing pattern files and they have added some nice fuctionality for Spam protection. Spam protection does need some more work but is okay since we did not have to spend a ton of money on another product. Symantec also discounted Lotus Notes a few years back when they did not move past R4. They wrote off Lotus Notes back then and only put out out a product for Lotus Notes Servers recently. It remains to be seen if this new Symantec product will beat Scanmail in features, performance, support and market share. I do not like Norton Antivirus, It has bitten me in the BUTT too many times in the past and I will not use it for Desktops if I can avoid it. I will post my production results on this latest Hotfix. On a more personal note. After all of these years working with Lotus Notes, I feel sorry for those that choose a career path with Microsoft Exchange. I wonder how many of them have lost all of their hair due to stress or lost their job do to computer viruses invading their network and destroying Windows based desktops and Servers. I still have a good laugh every once and a while when I think of the I LUV YOU virus and other viruses that decimate Exchange and Microsoft Systems every few months. I have a full head of hair thanks to Lotus Notes and Scanmail....... Cheers. Sean USER is not a special authority. It is a user class. User class and special authorities may, or may not, be tied together. Are you saying that QNOTES is user class *USER and it's special authority is *USRCLS? Downloading pattern files without *ALLOBJ can be done. The problem is when you try to download a scan engine without it. That's where I ran into problems. In the pre 2.6 days of Trend you would have to manually download new scan engines. However, unlike pattern files, they only came out on rare occasions. In Trend 2.6 it will automatically download scan engines also. What version of the scan engine are you running? From the below I am running 7.000-1011. How did you get the scan engine?

Delete them (pattern files, spam files etc) manually and Eureka no more crashes. We are performing this deletion maintenance one a week since there are allot of downloads. Also the SMLN/AU folders as well. The pattern files are down loaded there first before being moved to the data directory. As far as issues with QNOTES Profile, ALLOBJ is a bad idea. We have it fine working with just USER. I am tesing the new hot fix they gave ScanMail for Lotus Notes 2.6SP1 AS400 hot fix - Build 1584. This fix is not on the Web site. you have to call support.

Re: Upgrading to 520 (rob@xxxxxxxxx) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- message: 1 date: Tue, 20 Jul 2004 16:02:03 -0400 from: Chris Whisonant <Chris.Whisonant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> subject: RE: Upgrading to Trend's 2.6 According to the readme for the hotfix: Apply this hotfix only if you are working in conjunction with the Trend Micro's product support group on an issue: - Pupdate task crashes inside download process on AS400 - Pupdate task download failed because entries inside "server.ini" could not read properly Also, it is supposed to correct any problems with the Active Update (this runs under pupdate anyway). I don't have my QNOTES set to *ALLOBJ - here's an email I sent to trend on that: I had already made QNOTES *SECOFR. From my own iSeries experience and comments of others in the iSeries community, TrendMicro has an extremely flawed implementation of IFS and iSeries security with this latest release. Anyway, I also have previously added QSECOFR with all authority to IFS folders. This should not have to be since QSECOFR has *ALLOBJ special authority, but I did that per other instructions in technotes at your website. For my IFS folder structure, QNOTES is the owner AND QSECOFR is listed as a profile with all access rights to ALL FILES in the entire directory structure from the root on down. As stated earlier, I have already changed the QNOTES profile in the past to be *SECOFR against my better judgement. Before I grant that profile *ALLOBJ authority I will have to get you to conference me in a phone call with someone at Lotus support and they tell me that I should change that profile. This is an IBM/Lotus supplied profile and I don't want to change it any further. It isn't a best practice for iSeries programs to require that IBM user profiles be changed. And after that e-mail I had to send this one: This is not acceptable. I have applied this twice and I followed the procedure word for word on each occasion. A third apply is not going to magically make the product work. They actually wanted me to apply the hotfix a third time because it "wasn't installed correctly". After that email someone finally called me who got me fixed.

By random I mean going for days without any problems and then bam. Crash, restart, crash, restart, crash... stable, and then crash, restart, crash, restart, crash again. I finally had to take pupdate out of it's hourly schedule to eliminate it from running during business hours. Now all is well and pupdate runs every hour on the hour. I also had numerous TMMSCAN tasks in the server tasks - my guess was that there was one for each time I used CFGSM during my initial install.

It's probably in this version of the IFS, (which is really a traditional library/object): Link /QSYS.LIB/TRENDMICRO.LIB/VSAPI.SRVPGM was removed. I did not figure out what library originally contained the save file that was downloaded and contained the two objects restored into VSAPIAS400. Perhaps if I figure out how to crank up the job logging on PUPDATE I'll crack that one for sure. It's probably one of those DOMINO* *JOBD's in QUSRNOTES.
