virus update scripts.

Hey all, a couple things here. First is with the mcafee-autoupdate
script in the latest release. What is this extra.dat file it tries to
download and complains about when it's not there? Second, there is a
problem with the update_virus_scanners on Solaris. The grep you have
uses the -e flag, and unless you happen to have /usr/xpg4/bin first in
your path you'll be out of luck. I've fixed this by adding the
following right below the LOCKFILE declaration:
OS=`uname`
if [ ${OS} = SunOS ]; then
echo "Found OS"
GREP=/usr/xpg4/bin/grep
else
GREP=grep
fi
And then changing the subsequent grep to ${GREP}. Adding this should
fix Solaris systems without breaking any systems that aren't already broken.
