Somehow the permissions on those files got set so that only root can write to them. But of course, you're running as nobody, so when it tries to write, it's failing. I'll need to check if this is the code's fault. My initial guess is that compile_now() is running before the uid is changed...

Hi all,
First, I must say that I'm _extremely_ happy with SpamAssassin! It's made a
tremendous dent in the spam problem on my server.
I'm running with 2.0 at the moment, using spamc/spamd.
My question: I can't seem to get the auto_whitelist option to work properly. I'm
sure that it's probably something really [stupid|silly|misconfigured] on my
part.
I'll include as much info as I can, below:
Here's my setup:

if [ -x /usr/bin/spamd -o -x /usr/local/bin/spamd ]
then
# spamd -a -p 783 -d -u nobody
spamd -a -d -u nobody
fi
;;
'stop')
/usr/bin/pkill -9 -x -u 0 '(spamd)'
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
exit 1

esac

I do not have any SA files in /usr/share. (The install didn't put anything
there. Could the message, above, "using "/usr/local/share/spamassassin" for
default rules dir" be my problem?
I understand that spam[c|d] does not allow for individuals to have their own
auto-whitelist files. I'm trying to configure system-wide auto-whitelist
values.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Phil
