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:

         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

Isn't that the linux.intel.libc6.tar.Z file?

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.

I have just
downloaded and installed the latest Sophos engine from their
website. When I ran the install, I got the following error:

Aug  4 21:01:02 ns2 Sophos-autoupdate[6540]: Your Sophos
installation
may be too old. Please install the latest release of Sophos
Aug  4 21:01:02 ns2 Sophos-autoupdate[6540]: Lynx failed with

Any ideas anyone?


Richard
