So that is what that stands for!  It is flat out undefined in the sites

My crontab's invocation had --detect-pua, with no following argument, so 
apparently it defaults to on in those circumstances.

with that option set to =no, it does seem to be behaving itself better.  
Plus, I do a freshclam daily, but picked up 3 newer editions when I ran it 
by hand before this run started.  Maybe I should do the freshclam 2x a day?

I assume I must create that file.  What should its perms be set to?
