Thanks team, was just wondering.

So I obviously disable it to make ipv4 the default hookups here. On Mar 8, 2021, at 6:40 PM, G.W.

I'm not convinced that it's a network issue. Can anyone explain why freshclam appears to be trying IPv6 even though the host only has an IPv4 address on eth1? I think it is a network issue. Most network software doesn't know what interface it's going to use, it just asks the resolver for an address. Your resolver provides an IPv6 address and freshclam tries to use it. To build freshclam (and everything else) from source without IPv6 support you could (at least theoretically, I've never tried it myself) use the 'configure' option '--disable-ipv6'. Alternatively, which I'd suggest is preferable, you can fix the network's IPv6 connectivity. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net<mailto:clamav-users@lists.clamav.net> https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net<mailto:clamav-users@lists.clamav.net> https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
