First of all I need to apologise to everyone using the Sanesecurity
scam.ndb.gz database yesterday.

I had a report of a problem with the database yesterday, a few hours after
I'd uploaded a new version.

The problem was fixed after spending over half an hour talking with my
webhosting people and then spending another two hours troubleshooting.

In a word; I've just moved all my stuff over to a newer pc and in the
process of re-installing everything, I'd installed a newer firewall.

What happened is that although the permissions on the firewall were set
correctly for ftp (both in/out) and the fact my ftp client told me that
everything had been uploaded okay... the file on the scam.ndb.gz file on
the server was actually 0 bytes long.

It turned out, the new firewall was to blame... don't ask me why... but as
soon as I moved back to the old firewall... the correct sized file was
correctly uploaded.

Again, sorry about the problems caused.. it's the first time something
like this has happened in the year that I've been doing this... but it
doesn't
make me feel any better :(

Lession learned:  if the firewall ain't broke; don't fix it!
