Hi Got problems with freshclam since upgrading to 0.81. This is the before are after of my /var/log/clamav-update
-------------------------------------- ClamAV update process started at Fri Jan 28 19:53:36 2005 main.cvd is up to date (version: 29, sigs: 29086, f-level: 3, builder: tomek) daily.cvd is up to date (version: 690, sigs: 802, f-level: 4, builder: trog) WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately! WARNING: Current functionality level = 3, required = 4 -------------------------------------- ClamAV update process started at Sat Jan 29 09:57:35 2005 ERROR: Can't query current.cvd.clamav.net WARNING: Invalid DNS reply. Falling back to HTTP mode. main.cvd is up to date (version: 29, sigs: 29086, f-level: 3, builder: tomek) daily.cvd is up to date (version: 685, sigs: 727, f-level: 3, builder: diego) -------------------------------------- I'm getting "ERROR: Can't query current.cvd.clamav.net". I suspect it's my SpeedTouch Alcatel �510 Modem & DNS Server that 's causing the problems as when I tried through a dialup modem I didn't get the problem. Just need some pointers. I've looked in FAQ at the closest approximate solution/suggestion which was FAQ 6 *I can't resolve current.cvd.clamav.net! Is there a problem with your/my DNS servers?* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net Host current.cvd.clamav.net not found: 4(NOTIMP) Then FAQ 14. *I get this error when running freshclam: /ERROR: Connection with ??? failed/ . What shall I do?* Either your dns servers are not working or you are blocking port 53/tcp. You should manually check that you can resolve hostnames with: $ host database.clamav.net If it doesn't work, check your dns settings in /etc/resolv.conf. If it works, check that you can receive dns answers longer than 512 bytes, e.g. check that your firewall is not blocking packets which originate from port 53/tcp. An easy way to find it out is: $ host db.us.clamav.net $ dig @ns1.clamav.net db.us.clamav.net Got these results, which don't mean a lot, - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# host database.clamav.net database.clamav.net is an alias for db.local.clamav.net. db.local.clamav.net is an alias for db.europe.clamav.net. db.europe.clamav.net has address 68.142.86.21 db.europe.clamav.net has address 80.69.67.3 db.europe.clamav.net has address 147.229.3.16 db.europe.clamav.net has address 159.149.155.69 db.europe.clamav.net has address 193.19.98.136 db.europe.clamav.net has address 193.165.254.12 db.europe.clamav.net has address 194.228.2.38 db.europe.clamav.net has address 195.70.36.141 db.europe.clamav.net has address 195.85.130.84 db.europe.clamav.net has address 195.184.96.15 db.europe.clamav.net has address 195.214.240.53 db.europe.clamav.net has address 213.184.16.3 db.europe.clamav.net has address 62.26.160.3 db.europe.clamav.net has address 62.133.206.90 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# host db.us.clamav.net db.us.clamav.net has address 67.19.5.178 db.us.clamav.net has address 67.159.6.26 db.us.clamav.net has address 69.44.153.29 db.us.clamav.net has address 199.239.233.95 db.us.clamav.net has address 207.201.202.73 db.us.clamav.net has address 209.8.40.140 db.us.clamav.net has address 209.25.178.86 db.us.clamav.net has address 209.200.146.2 db.us.clamav.net has address 209.204.175.217 db.us.clamav.net has address 216.24.174.245 db.us.clamav.net has address 38.136.139.7 db.us.clamav.net has address 64.246.44.108 db.us.clamav.net has address 65.77.42.207 db.us.clamav.net has address 66.111.55.10 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# dig @ns1.clamav.net db.us.clamav.net ; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> @ns1.clamav.net db.us.clamav.net ;; global options: �printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 22369 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 14, AUTHORITY: 5, ADDITIONAL: 5 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;db.us.clamav.net. � � � � � � �IN � � �A ;; ANSWER SECTION: db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 67.19.5.178 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 67.159.6.26 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 69.44.153.29 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 199.239.233.95 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 207.201.202.73 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 209.8.40.140 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 209.25.178.86 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 209.200.146.2 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 209.204.175.217 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 216.24.174.245 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 38.136.139.7 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 64.246.44.108 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 65.77.42.207 db.us.clamav.net. � � � 5 � � � IN � � �A � � � 66.111.55.10 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: clamav.net. � � � � � � 1200 � �IN � � �NS � � �ns3.clamav.net. clamav.net. � � � � � � 1200 � �IN � � �NS � � �ns4.clamav.net. clamav.net. � � � � � � 1200 � �IN � � �NS � � �ns5.clamav.net. clamav.net. � � � � � � 1200 � �IN � � �NS � � �ns1.clamav.net. clamav.net. � � � � � � 1200 � �IN � � �NS � � �ns2.clamav.net. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns1.clamav.net. � � � � 86400 � IN � � �A � � � 64.74.124.6 ns2.clamav.net. � � � � 86400 � IN � � �A � � � 207.201.202.73 ns3.clamav.net. � � � � 86400 � IN � � �A � � � 195.70.36.141 ns4.clamav.net. � � � � 86400 � IN � � �A � � � 80.69.66.9 ns5.clamav.net. � � � � 86400 � IN � � �A � � � 213.92.8.2 ;; Query time: 110 msec ;; SERVER: 64.74.124.6#53(ns1.clamav.net) ;; WHEN: Sat Jan 29 13:12:46 2005 ;; MSG SIZE �rcvd: 428 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/log# Can anyone help.
