Software Environment Requirements
Listed below are the requirements for installing a Brightmail Control Center.
• Root access using
• GNU tar (on Solaris only) Because the tar file names exceed the 40 character file
name limit of native Solaris tar, GNU tar is required to install Symantec Brightmail

other web sites.
• MySQL User and Group definitions (UNIX only)
If you are using the MySQL database packaged with the Brightmail Control Center,
create a UNIX user called mysql in a group called mysql before installing the
Brightmail Control Center on Linux or Solaris. If you don't, the Installer won't be able
to start the MySQL daemon. No special permissions are required for the mysql user or
group.
To create this user and group on Solaris:
$ su
Password: your_root_password
# groupadd mysql
# useradd -c "MySQL user" -g mysql mysql
To create this user and group on Linux:
$ su
Password: your_root_password
# groupadd -r mysql
# useradd -c "MySQL user" -r -g mysql mysql
