I'll need to leave it for a little while to see that it's all fine, but adding PrivateMirror seems to fix it. It wasn't in the config file - so the disabled value has to be the default that's being reported. Had a look in the changelog - found it at line 962 so it's no wonder I'd not noticed it's silent arrival.
As to how I made it work, I just shared /var/lib/clamav on my 'master' server with an Apache vhost (I already have Apache running for other stuff), and set "DatabaseMirror virusdb.<mydomain>" in freshclam.conf on the other servers. I don't know where it came from, but I recall (some time ago now) finding something about how to set it up this way. It may not have been this site I was referring to back then, but it's certainly Option 2 I did : https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq/blob/master/mirrors/CvdPrivateMirror.md The same test is referenced here : http://osdir.com/ml/clamav-users/2012-07/msg00030.html > This solution is really simple to implement but it's only effective > if your clients are all on the same local network and bandwidth is > not an issue for you. > Configure a local webserver on one of your machines (say machine1.mylan) and > let freshclam download the *.cvd files fromhttp://database.clamav.net to > the webserver’s DocumentRoot. > Add the following line to freshclam.conf on machine1.mylan. > ScriptedUpdates no > First the database will be downloaded to the local webserver and then > the other clients on the network will update their copy of the database > from it. For this to work you have to change freshclam.conf on each client > so that it reads. > DatabaseMirror machine1.mylan > ScriptedUpdates no Over on the ClamAV-users mailing list, Shawn Webb suggested that the issue is to do with some new code intended to make downloads more robust : http://lurker.clamav.net/message/20140401.183417.1930bc2b.en.html I'm not really in a position to test the patch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
