Error with Sophos install

[Norm Yates]

Yes I have the latest linux.intel.libc6.tar.Z - in fact I'm a paying
customer of Sophos.  In the past this hasn't been a problem.  I've installed
the latest MailScanner (I hadn't removed monkeys from my last install and
decided to freshen the whole thing)

I took Sophos off and got the latest linux.intel.libc6.2.2.tar.Z - as I have
glibc 2.2.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

You need to download the new version of linux.intel.libc6.tar.Z.  Most of
the virus signatures are not in the IDE files.  Sophos stops supplying
older IDE files after three months, so you lose protection from those
viruses.
