Hi all, I'm running into a very baffling error with freshclam I'm hoping someone can shed some light on. When I run Freshclam (either from a cron script or manually from a SU'd account) I get the following error.
relay-01:/# freshclam ClamAV update process started at Fri Jul 14 14:42:47 2006 SECURITY WARNING: NO SUPPORT FOR DIGITAL SIGNATURES See the FAQ at http://www.clamav.net/faq.html for an explanation. WARNING: DNS record is older than 3 hours. WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode. Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK (IMS) main.cvd is up to date (version: 39, sigs: 58116, f-level: 8, builder: tkojm) Reading CVD header (daily.cvd): OK daily.cvd is up to date (version: 1599, sigs: 3634, f-level: 8, builder: ccordes) Saying that the DNS record failed and is older than 3 hours, however it still grabs the the main and daily.cvd updates and when I check with clamscan I show it's the most current definitions. relay-01:/var/lib# clamscan -V ClamAV 0.88.3/1599/Thu Jul 13 22:35:31 2006 My freshclam.conf shows the following relevant information; DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net # Uncomment the following line and replace XY with your country # code. See http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld-whois.htm for the full list. # Default: There is no default, which results in an error when running freshclam DatabaseMirror db.us.clamav.net # database.clamav.net is a round-robin record which points to our most # reliable mirrors. It's used as a fall back in case db.XY.clamav.net is # not working. DO NOT TOUCH the following line unless you know what you # are doing. DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net # How many attempts to make before giving up. # Default: 3 (per mirror) #MaxAttempts 5 # Number of database checks per day. # Default: 12 (every two hours) Checks 48 I am able to resolve all three of the hosts above using dig from a shell on the local server, and the options are identical to another Debian 3.1 Sarge server which has no problems. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
