Hi, guys


For several days now I'm getting an error [1] from vixie-cron while
it is trying to execute "/opt/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl"

Does anyone know what's this all about? 



[1] The error quoted:

"Server error on remote machine.
Fatal error. Exiting..."

Assuming that the server is actually up and available, and that the logs 
give no useful info, sniff the relevant traffic with tcpdump.

I haven't updated f-prot in a long while but just to test it, I did the 
updates.  It worked fine here.

Thanks!

That was all I needed to know, that the problem is only mine. As Alan
proposed I sniffed the traffic and found there was a header
(User-Agent=MSIE) which was making the server say something like "this
OS is not supported". Now everything is fine.
