I have been informed that Panda Antyvirus Platinum on Windows XP reports
that the file /usr/bin/tr contained as part of ipsec.lrp (apparently version
1.5 or earlier, since there is no tr command included in my latest ipsec
1.91 package) is infected by the Linux/Obsidian.E virus.

I'm currently trying to verify this, and track down exactly what the
Obsidian virus is supposed to do.  If anyone has any information on this
virus, or can help verify the file is/is not infected, I would greatly
appreciate it.

I currently have no idea if this is simply a false positive, or if there is
actually a problem, but wanted to let everyone know just in case.

FYI:  If memory serves, the tr and column programs included in my older
IPSec packages came from an aquaintence in San Diego, who managed to get
IPSec working before I did and sent me his LRP package.  I used his versions
of these two utilities since they were smaller than the Debian counterparts.
Since the programs work properly, are quite small overall, and smaller than
their stripped Debian cousins, if there is a virus it can't be very large or
complex.
