Yes I do see these changes in the rav-wrapper.  Since this is a production
machine, I didn't install the full beta, only rav-wrapper.  Because the new
version gets the install directory from virus.scanners.conf, I had to
change

$ravprogram = shift;
$ravprogram .= '/bin/ravav';
to
$ravprogram = '/usr/local/rav8/bin/ravav';

So the only change that I have made to 4.23-5 is inserting the new rav-
wrapper with the above changes to it.

If I run rav-wrapper from the command line on my mail box -- it works

But still I cant make Rav work with MailScanner.  There are no errors that
I can find anywhere, the mail just goes right trough.  If I add command
antivirus in MailScanner.conf, it works.
