InoculateIT and Mailscanner

[James Murchison]

Hello Ian,

Thanks for taking an interest in my problem. Original I wasn't using a
wrapper, I modified the F-prot wrapper to suit InoculateIT. The error
message no longer comes up, but the wrapper seems to hang when run. Also
I am now having a problem with Denial of Service attack. Every message
that is HTML format gets stripped.

Can you give me look at your wrapper script?

KR
James.

Hi James,

I've got InoculateIT and Mailscanner to run correctly RH7.3 by making
some changes to the wrapper script and creating a symbolic link.

1. Edit the wrapper script (mine is called inowrapper, f-prot user will
have this as f-protwrapper), uncomment the option header
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" and "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH" so it look something
like this:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<your path to inoculateit>/ino/lib:<your path to
inoculateit>/ino/config:<your path to inoculateit>/ino/secu/lib
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2. Create symbolic link for file <your path to
inoculateit>/ino/config/libarclib.so in
<your path to inoculateit>/ino/lib

This tweak has got my production server up and running again, I guess
RH7.3 works different.

Kind regards,
Ian.
