Imation IronKey Enterprise S250 Guia Del Usuario página 22

Please note the following important details for using your device on Linux:
1. Kernel Version must be 2.6 or higher
If you compile your own kernel, you must include the following in it:
»
DeviceDrivers->SCSIDeviceSupport-><*>SCSICDROMSupport
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> Support for Host-side USB
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> USB device filesystem
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> USB Mass Storage Support
The kernels that are included by default in most major distributions already have these features,
so if you are using the default kernel that comes with a supported distribution you do not need
to take any other action.
Also, on 64-bit linux systems the 32-bit libraries must be installed in order to run the ironkey
program. Consult the distribution's help resources for assistance and more information.
2. Mounting problems
»
Make sure you have permissions to mount external SCSI and USB devices
»
Some distributions do not mount automatically and require the following command to be
run:
mount /dev/<name of the device> /media/<mounted device name>
»
The name of the mounted device varies depending on the distribution. The names of the
IronKey Enterprise devices can be discovered by running:
ironkey --show
3. Permissions
»
You must have permissions to mount external/usb/flash devices
»
You must have permissions to run executables off the device's virtual DVD in order to
launch the Unlocker
»
You might need root user permissions
See the Linux folder on the device's virtual DVD for information about how to set up
permissions to allow non-root users to access their IronKey Enterprise devices. All of these
methods require that the system administrator take (one time) action to enable access; after
that, ordinary users can lock, unlock, and change passwords on any IronKey Enterprise devices
they plug in.
4. Supported distributions
Not all distributions of Linux are supported. Please visit http://support.ironkey.com for the
latest list of supported distributions.
5. The IronKey Unlocker for Linux only supports x86 systems at this time.
