Installation instructions for SuSE Linux 7.2
********************************************
Written by Rainer Link <rainer@openantivirus.org>


Those RPMs contain some changes to the original SuSE Linux 7.2 RPM
packages, so read those instructions carefully!

1) create user "vscan"
AMaViS of the original SuSE RPMs runs as "root", but for security
reasons this has been changed. So, amavis runs as user "vscan" (as with
any later version of SuSE Linux). To create the user "vscan", use the
following command:

/usr/sbin/useradd -o -g nogroup -u <id> -s /bin/false -c "Vscan account" \
-d /var/spool/vscan vscan

Instead of <id> use a free user-id (e.g. 65 as on any later version of
SuSE Linux)

2) Stop sendmail, stop AMaViS, remove original amavis-sendmail package

rcsendmail stop
rcamavis stop
rpm -e amavis-sendmail

3) Install the amavis-sendmail or amavisd-sendmail RPM via

rpm -Uvh <file.rpm>

4) Change the Xmilter-amavis setting in /etc/sendmail.cf
As amavis doesn't run as root anymore, the socket can not be create
in /var/run, but /var/run/amavis instead. Moreover, the socket name has
been renamed to amavis-milter.sock (again, by those changes the RPMs are
in  sync with any later SuSE Linux release). So, edit /etc/sendmail.cf
and change the Xmilter-amavis entry to

Xmilter-amavis, S=local:/var/run/amavis/amavis-milter.sock, \
T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m

(so basically the path /var/run/amavis.sock needs changed to
/var/run/amavis/amavis-milter.sock)

5)  Start AMaViS and sendmail

rcamavis start && rcsendmail start


NB: The install-CD?.sh installs the required RPMs for AMaViS
