InoculateIT and Mailscanner

[James Murchison]

It works like a charm !! Thanks for your help talk next time.

I was editing the script through a samba share via windows. DON'T DO IT
!

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.
