4.12-2 Solaris buglet

[Jeff A. Earickson]

Julian,
   I upgraded from 4.11-1 to 4.12-2 today, Solaris 8, and got
complaints from my startup script:

/bin/fgrep: illegal option -- q

I dug around and found that bin/check_mailscanner has a define at
the top of FGREP=/bin/fgrep.  Then a few lines down, the script
says:

if $UNAME | $FGREP -q "SunOS" ; then

which causes the complaints.  How about just a test against "uname -s"
instead?

UNAME=`/bin/uname -s`
if [ $UNAME = "SunOS" ]; then

My quick fix to the problem was to change the definition of
FGREP to use /usr/local/bin/fgrep, the GNU version that supports -q.
