Hi,

I have symantec client for antivirus mr3, and am netwerk admin on 
company, and they only let me put a linux client into the network , if I 
update to the antivirus-database. So big problem. I tried with Fedora 8 
but there he gave problems with the libraries. NOw i try with ubuntu.
I followed  recommendations on ubuntu forum:
1. created debs with alien from the rpm's
2. changing path for awk
3. creating the lock file

When I run ./symcfgpop I receive :
root at gandalf:/opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus# ./symcfgpop symcfgpop: 
Settings popoulation utility for Symantec AntiVirus
Usage: symcfgpop <settings file to import>

When I run ../symcfgdata.inf I receive :
./symcfgdata.inf: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
./symcfgdata.inf: line 1:

And when I do /opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus/rtvscand
failed to open PID file: No such file or directory

When I open the gui, it says autoprotect : disabled , RTVScan : 
disabled, Scan : unknown status.


Anybody has ideas ?
Greetings,
Johan
