Kaspersky not detected

Sun Jan 6 17:24:33 GMT 2008

Jules,

if you run MS as root then no problems at all, otherwise due to the permissions on /etc/opt/kaspersky/kav4fs.conf then it will fail straight away!

The definitions upgrade script works fine as that is run via the root cron.

Hmmm, the lint could check the conf file, but would also need to check the MS Run As parameter as you might aswell run the cache if you are just using root.

What I have done may not be the correct or elegant way but it got it to work.  Will see what comes back on the forum post, as they say the default is only run by root, so there must be a workaround.

Regards,

So without the changes you have suggested, what works and what doesn't? 
Can we make a MailScanner --lint highlight the changes if they haven't 
been done? Or can we make the -wrapper script log if it finds things not 
set up the way it needs?
