First off,  I changed the virus_scanners.conf back to default with /usr
instead of /bin on the panda line.  Originally I changed it because I
thought it wasn't working,  but it was working...just SLOWLY.    Results:

/usr/lib/MailScanner/panda-wrapper /usr -AEX -CMP -AUT -NSO -HEU .
Virus: 23##Base: /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20041129##1:
'1096/location_message.scr' => W32/Netsky##2: '11610/eicar.com' =>
EICAR-AV-TEST-FILE##3:
...and so on

I also ran it default with the same results:
[root at hoshi 20041129]# /usr/lib/MailScanner/panda-wrapper /usr .
Virus: 23##Base: /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20041129##1:
'1096/location_message.scr' => W32/Netsky##2: '11610/eicar.com' =>
EICAR-AV-TEST-FILE##3:
...and so on.

However,  that directory,  with roughly 75 files in it, took over 3
minutes to scan with the wrapper.   When I did a command line pavcl scan
with the same parameters, it scanned in a fraction of a second.   I
suspect we're timing out somewhere.
FYI,  the f-secure wrapper scans the same directory in a second or less.
