was blank, now Clam autoupdate, add f-prot

[G. Armour Van Horn]

Okay, I tried that and got this result:

     [root at vanquish f-prot]# ./check-updates.sh
     The check-updates.sh script has been replaced by a perl script:
             check-updates.pl.
     The check-updates.sh script has been deprecated
     Please make appropriate changes to your crontab entries.

     ***************************************

     There's a new version of:
     "Document/Office/Macro viruses" signatures on the web.
     Starting to download...
     Could not get file. at ./check-updates.sh line 542.

Deprecated, eh? Okay, let's find the Perl script. (One level down in
tools.)

     [root at vanquish tools]# ./check-updates.pl
     ***************************************
     * F-Prot Antivirus Updater            *
     ***************************************

     There's a new version of:
     "Document/Office/Macro viruses" signatures on the web.
     Starting to download...
     Could not get file. at ./check-updates.pl line 542.

Interesting, same line number. Anyway, I ran the MailScanner update:

     [root at vanquish MailScanner]# ./f-prot-autoupdate
     FTP address for retrieving files is
     ftp://us-1.updates.f-prot.com/pub/
     F-Prot signature file update script
     There is a new version of SIGN.DEF, starting download.
     Download completed.
     Fatal error while unzipping fp-def.zip,

It sat there at "starting download." for about ten minutes before I
canceled it. So I tried my script from the old machine, and got this in
less than 30 seconds:

     [root at vanquish f-prot]# ./update-signs.sh
     --21:44:06--  http://www.f-prot.com/cgi-bin/get_randomly?fp-def
                => `get_randomly?fp-def'

Is there possibly some difference between the way the other scripts are
calling for the file and the way wget does it? Something that might
suggest a problem with the firewall, perhaps? My script is this:

     wget http://www.f-prot.com/cgi-bin/get_randomly?fp-def
     /usr/bin/unzip -fo fp-def.zip
     rm -f fp-def.zip

I'd really like to not have to babysit this, as you can imagine. I also
don't want to download the files every hour when they aren't needed. Any
hints are welcome, believe me.
