I checked all 4 servers doing the rkhunter --update daily (the one failing plus
the # that are in the same location as it) and yes, they are all using the same
wget version:
GNU Wget 1.11.4 Red Hat modified
I tried the latest wget command you suggested and this is what happens:
[root@ctc3650f tmp]# wget -T 10 --tries=5 -O /tmp/bdoor.dat
http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/backdoorports .dat

[root@ctc3650f tmp]# (entire log is attached)
Again, it puts the file in /tmp but it is empty.
It does not appear to be a very large file, so it seems strange it would not be
able to sustain the network connection long enough to download it. Is there
something I can run to test if there is a network issue with this server?
(sorry, not my area of expertise).
Thanks!
Julie

Okay, thanks for that. Since curl also failed it indicates that it is not
something peculiar to wget. (Although because the transfer works on other
servers (I assume with the same version wget), we could have deduced that
anyway.)
A quick google for similar problems isn't revealing too much. However, you may
want to try running:
wget -T 10 --tries=5 -O /tmp/bdoor.dat
http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/1.3/backdoorports.dat
I'm not convinced that it will work. If it fails then we may have to take a
look at what the network is doing.
John.
