SV: SV: SV: Fix in uvscan/autoupdate... fixed

[Anders Andersson, IT]

Hi
No one else but me seemed to have a prob so I put up
my own ftp and realized it was the iptables that was blocking.
Could connect but not do ls
My bad and my apologeze for being a fool  =)

But I wonder one thing, would it be possible to get 
more info from the update accept "Running mcaffe"
ex:
updating succeded or failed?
lockfile added/removed?
maybe what/if dat-version was installed?

Thanks for the help

/Anders

Hmmmm, I think I have to go home and start learning some perl  =)
