Just want to pipe in with another opinion/question-- have there been more A records added for database.clamav.net recently? Freshclam had been working just fine for me for several weeks just started reporting the same problems that Seve reported. When I started debugging the problem (using dig) I paid attention to the "truncated results" notice that dig gave.
This is caused because the amount of information was too big to fit in a udp packet, and tcp dns packets were restricted from going through the firewall. Once tcp packets were allowed through the firewall, freshclam started working again. -ron > > > Had the same yesterday on a fresh install of 0.67-1 - turned out to be > DNS - edit your /etc/resolv.conf to nameservers that work. > Use host or dig > to test your nameservers you are resolving from. > > Jaap > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.611 / Virus Database: 391 - Release Date: 2004/03/03 > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials > Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of > GenToo technologies.
