Okay, I tried that and got this result:
<blockquote>[root@vanquish f-prot]# ./check-updates.sh
<br>The check-updates.sh script has been replaced by a perl script:
<br> check-updates.pl.
<br>The check-updates.sh script has been deprecated

Deprecated, eh? Okay, let's find the Perl script. (One level down in tools.)
<blockquote>[root@vanquish tools]# ./check-updates.pl

Interesting, same line number. Anyway, I ran the MailScanner update:
<blockquote>[root@vanquish MailScanner]# ./f-prot-autoupdate
<br>FTP address for retrieving files is <A HREF="ftp://us-1.updates.f-prot.com/pub/">ftp://us-1.updates.f-prot.com/pub/</A>
<br>F-Prot signature file update script
<br>There is a new version of SIGN.DEF, starting download.
<br>Download completed.

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:
<blockquote>[root@vanquish f-prot]# ./update-signs.sh

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:
<blockquote>wget <A HREF="http://www.f-prot.com/cgi-bin/get_randomly?fp-def">http://www.f-prot.com/cgi-bin/get_randomly?fp-def</A>
<br>/usr/bin/unzip -fo fp-def.zip
<br>rm -f fp-def.zip</blockquote>
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.

<p>Try /usr/local/f-prot/check_updates.sh, see if f-prot's own updater
<br>works. If yes then theres probably a problem with MailScanners
update
