I ran service MailScanner stop, and made sure the MailScanner.off was
in /var/lock/subsys/, and then rebooted.  Upon rebooting, and checking
the /var/lock/subsys/ directory, the MailScanner.off was no longer
there.  And then checking the /var/log/maillog I see this:

Oct 10 08:35:03 wks-lin8 MailScanner-MRTG[3015]: Number of MailScanner
processes below threshold, restarting MailScanner

My question now is....is the MailScanner.off supposed to be there upon a reboot?
