Is there any other way around this? It wouldn't be a big deal if it
was just a few boxes, but we've got quite a lot affected by this.

Due to some hiccups with pushing out a custom daily.cvd I tried to do, you
will need to delete the daily.cvd you have. You will download a fresh

I suspect the explanation concerning DNS cache TTL may be playing a role here.

Try running freshclam in verbose mode to see if there is added info on

The entire contrib/init directory was about 50-60K in size and i'm
really can not understand why it is removed - without any
notifications in changelogs?

Any ideas - and any init script available for RedHat / Centos?

I contacted Ventsyslav off-list to offer the scripts I have. Anyone else 
who needs the init scripts for Redhat / CentOS / Fedora can feel invited 
to contact me off-list for them.

This removal seems to have happened when we took over the release
engineering process from the exiting team.

We have been building the release tarballs with the projects dist
target, which should pull in the required bits for a complete build.
Having checked this today, I can confirm that the contrib directory is
not supposed to be packaged in the distribution files according to the
build system.

I will start a discussion about the contrib directory and follow up on
this list with the outcome.

The init scripts where removed from the repository in 2009:

The removal of the init scripts is noted in the ChangeLog as you can
see from the commit referenced above.

> Any ideas - and any init script available for RedHat / Centos?

As init scripts are highly platform dependent they are usually
maintained by the package maintainers for the platforms rather than by
the project.  You should take a look at the ClamAV packages for your
platform and use their init scripts.

Thanks.
That explains why I didn't see this before. I noticed this yesterday
when I had update problems.

We temporarily bumped the TTL up to three hours yesterday to ease the
burden on the mirrors while we pushed out a change that would cause a lot
of bandwidth. The TTL will be set back to its previous value soon.

[clamav-users] TTL on the current.cvd.clamav.net TXT resource record.

2013-02-15 Thread Kees Theunissen
The "ClamAV Virus Databases" FAQ
(http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/faq/faq-cvd/) says:

   You can check for database update as often as 4 times per hour
   provided that you have the following options in freshclam.conf:
   DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
   DatabaseMirror db.XY.clamav.net
   DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
   Replace XY with your country code. If you don't have that option,
   then you must stick with 1 check per hour.

But the TTL (Time To Live) on the current.cvd.clamav.net TXT
Resource Record is 10800 seconds (3 hours).

This will cause the record to be kept in DNS caches for 3 hours
and it will reduce the effective update frequency to once in
3 hours (unless you can flush your resolver casches).
Shouldn't the TTL be reduceced to something like 900 seconds?
