I decided to run spamd with the -D line and these are its results when I run /usr/local/bin/spamd -d -D -u mail (I left out the -a this time):

Everything seems to look okay except for the very end where it complains about not being able to write to /dev/null Thanks, Kenneth ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2002 11:00:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Kenneth Chen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SAtalk] Unable to restart spamd as a non-root user I edited something in local.cf today and tried to restart spamd, but to no avail. This is what I get on the command line: root@vampire:/var/mail# /usr/local/bin/spamd -d -a -u mail Can't write '/dev/null': Permission denied at /usr/local/bin/spamd line 640. Line 640 in spamd is the part that starts with `open STDOUT': sub daemonize { chdir '/' or die "Can't chdir to '/': $!"; open STDIN,'/dev/null' or die "Can't read '/dev/null': $!"; open STDOUT,'>/dev/null' or die "Can't write '/dev/null': $!"; defined(my $pid=fork) or die "Can't fork: $!"; exit if $pid; setsid or die "Can't start new session: $!"; open STDERR,'>&STDOUT' or die "Can't duplicate stdout: $!"; } Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why this might be happening? I haven't changed a single setting since I last started spamd so I'm not sure why this problem cropped up all of a sudden. Thanks!
