Netscreen Security Manager on Ubuntu Edgy

~~For the search engines: Netscreen Security Manager can be persuaded to work on Ubuntu Edgy by commenting out all the lines which begin `export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL` in the `NSM` shell script.~~

Dave Burke emailed to tell me that this technique worked for him, but does not enable you to run the NSM installer. ~~I haven't actually installed a new version of NSM since upgrading to Edgy.~~ His suggestion is to install it onto a non-Edgy machine and then copy the installation onto your Edgy machine.

   perl -i -p -e 's/(linux_LD_ASSUME_KERNEL_hack)=1/$1=0/' \
./nsm2006.1r2_ui_linux_x86.bin

Fix the NSM script so you can run it:

   perl -i -p -e 's/(linux_LD_ASSUME_KERNEL_hack)=1/$1=0/' NSM
