It will probably work as well(I've never tried it - mail scanning is done elsewhere), but expect to do some tweaking. First: Tell Trend you need a FreeBSD version. It may not do any good, but can't hurt. Then, quick notes for installing: Create a linux-like /etc/rc.d/init.d directory structure. This should be OK under either /etc or /compat/linux/etc, but it needs to be there for the install to run. The install will want a copy of zcat in /bin, just create a link to /user/bin/zcat. ** Use the linux (/compat/linux/bin/sh) sh to run the install script. ** This is to make the script think we are installing under linux. After install there will need to be some script cleanups, mainly related to ps command arguments, specifically in isfunctions and daemonhup.sh. Also it requires a copy of mail or mailx(can't remember which) in /bin. I just created a symlink to /usr/bin/mail. You need to understand how linux compatibility works, specifically wrt /compat/linux directory mapping. The install may put parts under / and /compat/linux. You may want to clean up the install by keeping all the parts under the same tree, it's just a matter of a few mv's. Jerry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
