I have emailed you my conf file. Here is the output from your scripts:

s/^\s*Run\s*As\s*User\s*=\s*(\S+)/$1/i' /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf`
[root at rosewood MailScanner]# RUNASG=`perl -n -e 'print "$_" if chomp &&
s/^\s*Run\s*As\s*Group\s*=\s*(\S+)/$1/i' /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf`
[root at rosewood MailScanner]# echo $LOCKDIR

[root at rosewood MailScanner]# echo $RUNASG
