Sophos Anti-Virus

Hello,

Just today I decided to try a trial version of Sophos Anti-Virus with
MailScanner.  By default, it was installed in the following location:

  - binaries in /usr/local/bin
  - the shared library in /usr/local/lib
  - the virus data in /usr/local/sav
  - manual pages in /usr/local/man

In /etc/Mailscanner/virus.scanners.conf the default package directory is set
to /usr/local/Sophos.  Also in the sophos-wrapper, the IDE directory was
"ide".  But my default install put it under a "sav" directory.  So I had to
edit both the sophos-wrapper and the virus.scanners.conf to make it work.

This is really no big deal, but was just wondering:  Did I install something
that is different then what others are using from Sophos, or did Sophos
change the installation location?  I am just curious if anyone else has seen
this?

Mandrake Linux 10.0
MailScanner 4.33.3
