I made the change you suggested...results are below. It got rid of the
FPSCAND error message but I still get the Invalid argument '-old' and
f-prot isn't being called.<br>
<br>
MailScanner --lint<br>
Trying to setlogsock(unix)<br>
Checking version numbers...<br>
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.68.2) is correct.<br>
<br>
Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.<br>
<br>
Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...<br>
SpamAssassin temp dir =
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp<br>
SpamAssassin reported no errors.<br>
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamd f-prot bitdefender"<br>
Found these virus scanners installed: bitdefender, clamavmodule,
f-prot, clamd<br>
===========================================================================<br>
Invalid argument '-old'<br>
===========================================================================<br>
Virus Scanner test reports:<br>
Clamd said "eicar.com was infected: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND"<br>
Bitdefender said "Found virus EICAR-Test-File (not a virus) in file
eicar.com"<br>
<br>
If any of your virus scanners (bitdefender,clamavmodule,f-prot,clamd)<br>
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly<br>
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its
virus.scanners.conf.<br>

In /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SweepViruses.pm, add a line so it
says this at/around line 3678:
# Attempt to open the connection to fpscand
$sock = ConnectToFpscand($Port, $TimeOut);
return 'FPSCANDNOTRUNNING' if $lintonly && !$sock;
The 'return' line is the new one.
Then 'service MailScanner stop' and run 'MailScanner --lint' again.
Please let me know how you get on.

I don't have f-prot-6 installed. Also, I manually ran
update_virus_scanners and it successfully checked/updated all scanners
including f-prot. f-prot runs correctly using the information from
virus.scanners.conf.
