If I want spamd to run as root do I still have to put -u root in the startup? My sendmail already runs as root so having spamd run as root is fine for me.
Why am I getting the errors; Still running as root: user not specified, not found, or set to root. Fall back to nobody. And why does the procmail log say procmail: Skipped "/home/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.11/rules" Anyone? on 3/19/02 2:53 PM, Jeffrey Bacon at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > if you use the -u option on spamd when you start it you can specify the > username it will run as.
