ESET  File Security

In this section we will review the terms and abbreviations used in this document. Note that 

a boldface font is reserved for product component names and also for newly defined terms and 

abbreviations. Terms and abbreviations defined in this chapter are expanded upon later in this 

document.

ESETS

ESET Security

 is a standard acronym for all security products developed by ESET, spol. s r.o. for 

Linux, BSD and Solaris operating systems. It is also the name (or its part) of the software package 

containing the products.

RSR

Abbreviation  for  ‘RedHat/Novell(SuSE)  Ready’.  Note  that  we  also  support  RedHat  Ready 

and Novell(SuSE) Ready variations of the product. The 

RSR

 package differs from the “standard” 

Linux  version  in  that  it  meets  the  FHS  (File-system  Hierarchy  Standard  defined  as  a  part  of 

Linux Standard Base) criteria required by the RedHat Ready and Novell(SuSE) Ready certificate.
