.... but .... isn't that the string we're after? If you run the
wrapper on that file, what happens then? Try first something like
/usr/lib/MailScanner/etrust-wrapper /opt/eTrustAntivirus -IsItInstalled
... if that fails, well, then something is up with the
installation/the assumptions about the installation (in the wrapper).
You should of course use the third column in virus.scanners.conf (for
the etrust line) as the first parameter:-). Then perhaps try
/usr/lib/MailScanner/etrust-wrapper /opt/eTrustAntivirus -nex -arc
-mod reviewer -spm h /tmp/eicar_test_file
... and see what happens. If you had to amend virus.scanners.conf,
check it with a finetoothed comb for errors;-).
