sophos autoupdate

[Henry C. Chorlian]

Good morning,

Thanks very very much for the excellent MailScanner program.
It's working great!

Now for my problem with autoupdate.  I've been manually
updating the sophos ide section but would really like the
autoupdate script to work.  I'm sure you'll see this right
away, extra pair of eyes...

I have sophos and mailscanner running from /opt2 instead of
the defaults but on the same filesystem.  When I run autoupdates
the sophos directory ends up look like this:

cbr:/opt2/sophos-> ls -la
total 14
drwxr-xr-x   7 root     other        512 Jun 11 08:47 ./
drwxr-xr-x  16 root     root         512 Jun 11 08:33 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     other        512 Jun 11 08:47 358.200206110847/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Jun 11 08:46 bin/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Jun 11 08:49 ide/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 Jun 11 08:33 lib/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     root         512 Jun 11 08:33 man/

A link to the 358.200206110847/ doesn't appear to happen,
and I end up downloading the latest 358_ides.zip file into
the ide directory manually and unzipping it there for the
updates to work.

Please help on this simple problem.  I know I'm in the Twilight
Zone on this one....

Thanks,

Henry
