Hi,

This may be the wrong place to ask, but ...
Is there a version of COPS customized for 
Linux?  I pulled a copy down, and it did
autoconfigure & compile & etc. but overall
was fairly useless.  Things like looking
for files in the wrong directories, bogus
error messages (it thought that my /etc/passwd
had accounts without passwords, but visual 
inspection shows that that is not the case).

And it fails to look for important things --
like ghostscript usage without -dSAFER, or 
otherwise nasty .mime/types files, etc.

What's the word?
