I downloaded the file again. I had a look inside the archive and most of
the files are dated mid July. This is what happened when I run the
script:

[root /root]# cd /tmp

[root /tmp]# /usr/sbin/Sophos.install

Warning: $PATH does not include /usr/local/Sophos/bin

         To run Sophos Anti-Virus you need to set environment variable
$PATH so

         that it includes /usr/local/Sophos/bin.



Warning: Neither $LD_LIBRARY_PATH nor /etc/ld.so.conf include

         /usr/local/Sophos/lib.

         You need to either include an entry for /usr/local/Sophos/lib
in

         /etc/ld.so.conf, or set environment variable $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
to

         include /usr/local/Sophos/lib or you will not be able to use
Sophos

         Anti-Virus.



         Manual path is OK

Some environment variables may need to be set on your system. To make
these

settings permanent, add them to your login script or profile; to make
these

settings systemwide, amend /etc/login or /etc/profile.

Yes. If you have downloaded that file to, say, /tmp, then you need to do
        cd /tmp
        Sophos.install
and it will install and update that version.

Richard,



I believe that after about 3 months, you need to download the full
Sophos Distribution. Julian has provided a script to do this:


/usr/sbin/MajorSophos.sh



You'll need to modify this script to add your Sophos username and
password.
