I have a NetWare 5.1 server with Mcafee Antivirus,with 4.1.60 scan engine version and latest dat file updated.If Mcafee is kept running the server goes in the abend mode.

Any help on rectifying the proble is appreciated.

Thanks,

Most people set up Netshield to only scan "Incoming Files Only", it might be too much scanning to do both. Try that and report back.

Does it abend because of tape backup ?

I use Inoculate for Netware but I have it shut down during backup and restart when backup is complete, sssssssshhhh!

I assume that you have read this on Novell's site.

There is an issue with some of the older versions of netshield and clib. Pagefaults will occur on the server.
This situation can also be aggravated withgroupwise loaded.

They need to update to the latest clib rev O as of this writing.
The latest netshield is 3.20 -- available from McAffee.

You may have the latest DAT file but do you have the correct Netshield version?

Even updating scan engine with the latest one did not help.The NetShield version I am running is 4.11

I would like to load Mcaffee manually one module at a time, because you did not state that how long it will abend, so I guess one of modules might not update yet. When you load each module manually you can monitor which module(s) requires a prequisite module(s). Hope this helps.

Read the readme.txt maybe your problem is fixed

Also look in Knowledgebase nai for some registry setting for your netware server to fix some issues.
