Interesting.  It certainly seems to be working fine without those
though.  I wonder what those extra bits represent (might they represent
options in the clamav.conf file?).  I'll have to dig around.  I won't
add it in just yet, in case it breaks what appears to be currently
working.

Actually, it is there.  You may have just missed it.  There are 2 for
loops in the page.  The first one sets the runlevels.  But I will change
it to call chkconfig with the full path.

Noted and being changed.

Thanks.  That's what I'm shooting for.
