Panda not working

Hm well, when I tested a bit more it went as one could expect...
Since I don't actually pay for any panda license, I don't have
a valid login to get the updated sig file... Which means that
Panda was fine finding old bull-droppings like Netsky/Somefool
but missed all of the newer ones.

ISTR you mentioning that there was some problems using the
latest sigs? Or are those results with the latest sigs?

I'm sure you already know, but if you want MailScanner to get
the updates for you, you're supposed to edit the
panda-autoupdate script with your login info.

And you're pretty much right about my relative tiredness:-).
... Just whish there was a simple way to make it work in
_one_ pavcl call instead of one/file. Pavcl is a dog,
performancewise, and this makes the script so slow it's
actually detectable in the deliveryspeed when comparing MS
with<>without panda... Sigh. And it nettles me that it works
so poorly.

Hi Glen

Thanks so much for your help on this, but I'm at the give up stage on this
one and I expect you are too.  I installed your new wrapper and restarted
MailScanner at about 7pm last night and Panda worked for a bit.  Here's what
happened compared to Bitdefender:

Mar  9 22:10:52 mail MailScanner[29900]: Virus Scanning: Bitdefender found 1
infections
Mar  9 22:10:59 mail MailScanner[29900]: Virus Scanning: Panda found 2
infections
Mar  9 22:11:56 mail MailScanner[29968]: Virus Scanning: Bitdefender found 2
infections
Mar  9 22:12:12 mail MailScanner[29968]: Virus Scanning: Panda found 4
infections
Mar  9 22:24:33 mail MailScanner[29962]: Virus Scanning: Bitdefender found 1
infections
Mar  9 22:24:39 mail MailScanner[29962]: Virus Scanning: Panda found 2
infections

So far, so good.

However, today so far Bitdefender has found 44 infections whereas Panda
hasn't found any.  My guess is that something went wrong when MailScanner
restarted at midnight, but I could be wrong.  Note that Panda still finds
the eicar when I enter /usr/lib/MailScanner/panda-wrapper /usr /tmp
