ReadyNAS antivirus stopped updating
My ReadyNAS stopped receiving antivirus updates on March 19th 2018. I suspected that the problem was DPI-SSL scanning on my Sonicwall 5600, because in the past that has caused problems with ReadyNAS...
If you have ssh enabled, you could try entering host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net and see if that resolves without printing an error.
You could also try executing freshclam and see if it updates successfully.
I did disable NTP, changed the time, then enabled NTP and set the time server to time.google.com. Time immediately updated correctly.
If you have ssh enabled, you could try entering host -t txt current.cvd.clamav.net and see if that resolves without printing an error.
You could also try executing freshclam and see if it updates successfully.
Thank you for your assistance.
After enabling ssh I ran freshclam -v.
After ignoring several mirrors because of previous errors the update finally started. All updates are now complete. Is this something that I will need to do on a daily basis or should the updates start working correctly now? I am wondering if I need to update ClamAV to a newer version? I did get a warning during the update that the installation is outdated.
You shouldn't need to do this routinely - I'd just keep on eye on the definitions updates.
Also, since the service is integrated into the ReadyNAS firmware, I wouldn't try to update the application itself. Netgear should be doing that as needed.
