Cool, glad to be of help. I checked the server today and I had actually
renamed the inocmd32 to inocmd32.bin and replaced it with this wrapper:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/eTrustAntivirus/ino/bin/inocmd32.bin $*

I had also added the export and unset to scripts/InoStart and
scripts/UpdateEngine.sh. That makes them work independant of MS and thus
survive an update of MS. This was just trial and error, no help from CA
of course, so I don't know if it's the optimal solution but it works for
me. Both the engine and signatures update nicely.

I think it's wrong for Julian to fix problems for CA. His wrapper should
work for what CA supports (RH8) so there's nothing for him to fix. I
will wait for others to post their opinion and then post in the FAQ if
no one objects.
