color=#0000ff size=2>A long shot, but I had a similar problem with eTrust on a
RHEL 2.1 server. Apparently, after a up2date session, I obtained and installed a
new version of wget that defaulted to "passive ftp" for some crazy reason. This
broke the eTrust update process as well as many other scripts that relied on
wget. My solution was to edit /etc/wgetrc and uncomment the "passive_ftp =
off" option (in other words, turn it off). </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

appropriate signature might give you a clue. This is how I stumbled upon the fix
referenced above.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

F-Secure decides to stop updating on the hour<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not sure why this is happening. We have been
running the latest version of MailScanner + F-Secure 4.5+ for over a week. All
of a sudden, on two servers, f-secure is no longer updating the virus
signatures on the hour. The latest update was on the 11th. It was working till
then. When I try to run the cron.hourly script it just hangs and does nothing.
I disabled my firewall and the same thing. Only one box is up-to-date the
other two stopped updating on the 11th. Please tell us why? Should we use the
cron supplied by F-Secure instead? </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
