I believe the instructions that come with f-prot describe how to set it up
in /usr/local.  That's where I put it and it works just fine.  I don't
have any reference to it in /opt at all.

The instructions in mailscanner.conf say to add
Sweep=/usr/local/f-prot/f-wrapper if using f-prot.

Am I missing something again???
