Tomasz I am most definitely behind a transparent proxy and the inclusion of the nocache option for freshclam has by and large solved the problem for me. I have seen these errors twice today though, which makes me think something else is wrong. In both cases the email notifying me of the problem is timed 5 minutes after the cron job should have run, and the log indicates that it did run at the correct time. Running Freshclam manually takes an age and gives the same message, and I can't access the ClamAV site. Which makes me think the problem is with the site, not a transparent proxy, and that Freshclam is timing out. By the way, I've never understood the reluctance to implement my suggestion of 17 October 2002 to include the following lines in a .htaccess in your database directory: | ExpiresActive On | ExpiresDefault A0 Assuming mod_expires is loaded this should cause the server to respond something like | Date: Thu, 01 Jan 2003 17:23:55 GMT | Cache-Control: max-age=0 | Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 2003 17:23:55 GMT which should ensure that proxies, transparent or otherwise, do not cache data. -- Chris Hastie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
