Also noticed that when I run command line
#/opt/mcafee
bash-2.05# ./uvscan --version
Virus Scan for Solaris v4.24.0
Copyright (c) 1992-2001 Networks Associates Technology Inc. All rights
reserved.

#bash-2.05# ls -lt |more

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         23 Nov  7 11:41 dat ->

drwxr-xr-x   2 root     other        512 Nov  7 11:41 dat20031107
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     other       4121 Nov  7 11:41 autoupdate.solaris

I have dat file which is most current.
I must be having some Path problem
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanx
