Testing your installation:

To verify the command-line scanner works, please run it with the -verno option and then attempt to scan a file:

f-prot -verno
f-prot /etc/passwd

If no errors occur, then the installation of the commandline scanner was successful.

We supply a shell script to verify the daemon works. You can test the installation by first starting the daemon:

/usr/local/sbin/f-protd /usr/local/f-prot/

and then giving the command:

/usr/local/f-prot/f-protc /usr/local/f-prot/f-protd

Please consult the f-prot(1) and f-protd(8) manual pages for further information.

Configuring your system to run f-protd at bootup:

To start the daemon automatically, you must add a script to the boot sequence inside /etc/rc.d/. The daemon must be started with:

/usr/local/f-prot/f-protd -background /usr/local/f-prot/
