1. Installation

FileWave 5.X has been extensively tested by FileWave on CentOS 5.5 32bit, which is a RedHat derived Linux distribution.  

Summary
Apple's certificate used to sign Updates for OS X Lion and Mac OS 10.6.8 has expired on March 23, 2012 and Apple reposted some of the updates. Therefore, Filewave server will not recognize the Filesets that were previously created (before Apple's change) because their internal IDs have changed in the Apple catalog.

FileWave TCP/IP Port Usage

By default the FileWave software listens on the TCP/IP ports listed below. These are the defaults and they can be configured to listen on different ports if required.
New ports numbers are in red.

FileWave Client Ports
20010 TCP/IP for monitor-client communication
20020 TCP/IP for Kiosk (fwgui to talk to client)

Summary
