KavDaemonClient (Was Re: F-Secure 4.50 not supported)

[Julian Field]

I have running
24263 ?        S      0:00 /opt/AVP/kavdaemon(Logger)
24264 ?        S      0:00 /opt/AVP/kavdaemon -I2 -Y

I started up this pair using
/opt/AVP/EtcScripts/init.d/kavdaemon.rh start

Using the AvpDaemonClient in "Sample1" I can scan for viruses with just a
command line of
AvpDaemonClient .

So that you can download and run my copy, I have tar-ed up the whole
/opt/AVP directory (except the licence key file) and put it at
http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~jkf/WorkingKav.tgz

I would be interested to see whether this setup works for you.
