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 freshclamDatabaseMirror db.US.clamav.net Also, you might be accidentally starting daemon mode each time you run freshclam from cron. Change it to daemon mode at startup. The current Mandrake RPM assumes you are going to run daemon mode, where previous versions set up cron. If you don't go back and clean up cron then it gets really messy... I set mine to: # Number of database checks per day. # Default: 12 (every two hours) Checks 49 My redundant box has "Checks 47".
