A typical slave update failure in our local mirror configuration. The master hasn't pulled down the latest from the clamav infrastructure yet. but will within the next hour.

Feb 25 15:16:14 host freshclam[2608]: Can't download daily.cvd from clamav.local.example.com Feb 25 15:16:14 host freshclam[2608]: Trying again in 5 secs... Feb 25 15:16:19 host freshclam[2608]: Mirror XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is not synchronized. Feb 25 15:16:19 host freshclam[2608]: Giving up on clamav.local.example.com... Feb 25 15:16:19 host freshclam[2608]: Update failed. Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in freshclam.conf is working. Check http://www.clamav.net/support/mirror-problem for possible reasons. Question. Why does freshclam suggest checking http://www.clamav.net/support/mirror-problem for possible problems with a a LOCAL MIRROR when it KNOWS that its checking a local mirror. If freshclam where written in perl heres what I would do. if ( $Update_Error ) { $ErrorMsg = "Update failed. Your network may be down or none of the mirrors listed in freshclam.conf is working. "; if ( $Update_Server == "database.clamav.net || $Update_Server=~m/(db\.??\.clamav\.net)/) { # Official Mirror # So hardcode it. $URL = "http://www.clamav.net/support/mirror-problem";; }else{ # Somrehing Else maybe a Local Mirror. $URL = $Update_Error_URL; # This could be pulled from a new setting in freshclam.conf # FEATURE Request Hint Hint. :-) } if ( $URL ) { $ErrorMsg = $ErrorMsg . "Check $URL for possible reasons."; } } This would allow a more appropriate error message to be returned & allow the site admin to include a local mirror status URL if desired. Obviously the real programmers on the ClamAV team could do something like this in C. Thoughts. -- Sincerely, Nathan Gibbs Systems Administrator Christ Media http://www.cmpublishers.com
