Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the clamav source package.
This review will last from Monday, September 17, 2007 to Thursday, September 27, 2007.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer
as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as
a subject tag.

Template: clamav-base/ArchiveMaxRecursion Type: string Default: 5 _Description: Limit on the Archive recursion: This setting places a limit on recursion within archives, for example, a tar file that is also gzipped. . Entering '0' will disable this limit. Template: clamav-base/ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio Type: string Default: 250 _Description: Limit on Archive compression: This setting places a limit on compression within archives, to guard against archive bombs (small files that expand to massive ones, a form of Denial of Service Attack).

Template: clamav-base/SelfCheck Type: string Default: 3600 _Description: Delay in seconds between daemon self checks: During the SelfCheck the daemon checks if it needs to reload the virus database. It also tries to repair problems caused by bugs in the daemon, i.e in some cases it's able to repair broken data structures. Template: clamav-base/User Type: string Default: clamav _Description: User to run clamav-daemon as: It is recommended to run the ClamAV programs as a non-priviledged user. This will work with most MTA's with a little tweaking, but if you want to use clamd for filesystem scans, running as root is probably unavoidable. Please see README.Debian in the clamav-base package for details. Template: clamav-base/AddGroups Type: string _Description: Groups for clamav-daemon (space-seperated): Please enter any extra groups for clamd. . Clamd runs as a non-priviledged user by default. If you need clamd to be able to access files owned by another user (e.g., in combination with an MTA), then you will need to add clamd to the group for that piece of software. Please see README.Debian in the clamav-base package for details.
