[ENSIM] Installing 'unrar' on Fedora Core 4

The version of MailScanner that is installed during the Ensim Pro X installation on Fedora Core 4 creates the following messages in /var/log/maillog:

Unrar command /usr/bin/unrar does not exist or is not executable, please either install it or remove the setting from MailScanner.conf

Unfortunately, you cannot simply install the unrar program unless you have the Livna repo set up in your yum config.

If you do not want to set up extra repositories for yum on your system, you can just install the unrar rpm by following the instructions below:

  • Log in to the server over SSH as root
  • Download the rpm to a directory: wget http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/4/i386/unrar-3.5.4-0.lvn.1.4.i386.rpm
  • Install the rpm: rpm -ivh unrar-3.5.4-0.lvn.1.4.i386.rpm
  • Now restart MailScanner: service MailScanner restart
