4.74.9-1 strangeness/bugs

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Julian,

I attempted to go with 4.74.9-1 this morning, and got bit.
Here is my list of issues:

1) I noticed that "Lockfile Dir" is now 
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks instead of /tmp.
This directory didn't exist, but I notice that starting up
MailScanner created both this directory and a "locks" directory
there, and populated it with [antivirus]Busy.lock files.

At startup, I got the complaint:

-n Starting MailScanner...
sh: /usr/sbin/mailscanner_create_locks: not found
Error: Attempt to create locks in /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks failed!

These complaints are new.

2) I ran the update_virus_scanner, and got:

# /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_virus_scanners
Can't open /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf: No such file or directory.
Can't open /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf: No such file or directory.
Can't open /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf: No such file or directory.

My MailScanner.conf lives in /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf, not
/etc/MailScanner.  /etc/MailScanner only contains my customized rules/reports
files.  Hmmm.  I could create a symlink there but don't want to.

3) BUG:  The permissions on /tmp got changed from 1777 to 700 on me
during my debug run of 4.74.9-1.  Ouch!

My Setup: Solaris 10 sparc, install MS via tarball.
