Security Humor: Ensuring Proper Installation

Users of McAfee's e-Policy Orchestrator know that MacOS integration requires you to run a shell script on the hosts. That script, install.sh includes the following missive to potential tinkerers:

"##DO NOT PUT ANYTHING AFTER __ARCHIVE_FOLLOWS__ UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE (NOT EVEN WHITESPACE). YOU SHALL BE HANGED IF YOU DO"
I think I'll leave the file alone...

If you are attempting to locate the install.sh file as part of a VirusScan for MacOS ePO build, you can find the file on your ePO server at \Program Files\McAfee\ePolicy Orchestrator\DB\Software\Current\EPOAGENT3700MACX\ Install\0409. You will need to run the script as root using install.sh -i as your command.
