Ah, I see your problem now. Please do not use freshclam to keep the web root up to date and to fetch from the web root. freshclam has, for a long time, produced different output files from input, and you will just keep running into problems if you try to do it this way. > On the mirror, freshclam log say: > > Reading CVD header (daily.cvd): OK > Downloading daily-7314.cdiff [*] > Downloading daily-7315.cdiff [*] > daily.cld updated (version: 7315, sigs: 72575, f-level: 26, builder: ccordes) > Database updated (304409 signatures) from db.local.clamav.net > > Note it's 'daily.cld'; if I symlink such daily.cld to daily.cvd I get (LAN > client): Yes, just like for a while it made directories daily.inc and main.inc, that were also usesless to the downstream client. Granted, you could turn those off (and IIRC you can turn off the conversion to .cld by the same mechanism now, although I might be wrong). > Downloading daily.cvd [100%] > ERROR: Verification: MD5 verification error Yes, well, it is a different file - no surprises there. > nope, that's *main.cvd* and that's still fine.

The methods used to retrieve it look like they are, however. Cheers, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
