[clamav-users] ClamAV® blog: CRDF Joins the ClamAV Signature Partner Program!

[Axb]

He means :

freshclam.conf

# Download an additional 3rd party signature database distributed through
# the ClamAV mirrors.
# This option can be used multiple times.
#ExtraDatabase dbname1
#ExtraDatabase dbname2

Do we aggree that any signatures which are NOT written by Sourcefire 
staff are third party?

That would be the freshclam "opt-in" option

ExtraDatabase crdfam.clamav.hdb
(or whatever the naming would be)

If suddenly the CRDF sigs have a badhair day, they can be easily "disabled".

And ppl running on limited resources would have a little bit of extra 
control.

What else would "ExtraDatabase" be used for?
