Sorry, this isn't a truth table, it's a program configuration file. As noted in the documentation, the default value is "yes" [1]. There is no difference in program behavior between commenting out a value that defaults "yes" and explicitly setting it to "yes" in the config file. [1] There is another discussion that the default should be "no", but that doesn't really have any bearing on this particular discussion. The default is currently "yes", so set it explicitly to "no" in clamd.conf if you don't want this feature enabled. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
