Thanks, that worked better.

It gave me a warning about the signature not matching, which worries me a 
little with a security app! I know others report getting this a lot, but I 
don't normally. But I went ahead with the install anyway.

I noticed it has a --update option to get all the latest scan info, so I did 
that first. I don't know if this eliminates the benefits of going to 1.1.8.

Pretty impressive list of things checked. It didn't find any nasties on my 
system, but it reported the following:

* Application version scan
   - GnuPG 1.2.4                                              [ OK ]
   - OpenSSL 0.9.7c                                           [ Vulnerable ]
   - Procmail MTA 3.22                                        [ OK ]
   - ProFTPd 1.2.9                                            [ Vulnerable ]

I just updated everything on Monday (after switching to a working mirror). Any 
idea what's up with these vulnerability warnings? Has Mandrake not released 
fixed versions of these apps yet? Should I wait or install from source? I 
don't use these apps. Not directly anyway, but maybe something else uses 
them?
