Eraagent refuses to start on Centos 8

[marcushmrc 0]

Good morning, i have a question.

I have a centos 8 running with eraagent and when i try to start the agent it gives me this failure:

eraagent.service: Can't open PID file /var/run/eraagent.pid (yet?) after start: No such file or directory

My startscript:

# ESET Management Agent
#
# Copyright (c) 2023 ESET, spol. s r.o.

[Unit]
Description=ESET Management Agent
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment="MODMAPDIR=/var/opt/eset/RemoteAdministrator/Agent/"
Environment="HOME=/var/opt/eset/RemoteAdministrator/Agent/"
Type=forking
KillMode=process
PIDFile=/var/run/eraagent.pid
ExecStart=/opt/eset/RemoteAdministrator/Agent/setup/eraagent start
Restart=on-abort
RestartSec=60

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

 

I have selinux aktivated on that box.

As soon i activate setenforce 0 it works like a charme.

I tried:

 cd /opt/eset/RemoteAdministrator/Agent/setup/selinux/
 ./eraagent.sh --update

But no luck here.

 

Could you please help me out here?

Unfortunately CentOS 8 is not listed among supported systems: https://help.eset.com/protect_install/11.1/en-US/?linux.html.

You could try an older agent.  Like 10.1 or even 9.x.    AFAIK, they still can connect to the server.  They just can't be upgraded.

We don't have any security product for CentOS 8 so installing just the agent would not make much sense.
