The permissions on my bayes_journal and bayes_toks files keep changing. Has
anyone else encoutered this problem?

I get the following error in my /var/log/messages file:
Jan 14 16:50:56 zion spamd[638]: cannot write to
/usr/share/spamassassin/db/bayes_journal, Bayes db update ignored
 
Jan 14 16:50:57 zion spamd[638]: cannot write to
/usr/share/spamassassin/db/bayes_journal, Bayes db update ignored


I look in /usr/share/spamassassin/db/ and behold! The permissions are:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] db]# ll
total 23012
-rw-------    1 root     root         3057 Jan 14 16:49 bayes_journal
-rw-------    1 vpopmail vchkpw   21061632 Jan 14 16:50 bayes_seen
-rw-------    1 vpopmail vchkpw   10211328 Jan 14 16:50 bayes_toks
[EMAIL PROTECTED] db]#

If I do a processes listing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] db]# ps -aux |grep spam
vpopmail  3215  0.1  5.3 31940 27244 ?       S    Jan13   1:49
/usr/bin/spamd -m 20 -s -Q -q -x -d -v -u vpopmail -F 0
root      1445  0.0  0.1  3760  568 pts/3    S    16:53   0:00 grep spam
[EMAIL PROTECTED] db]# 

It seems to me that SpamAssassing is running as the user vpopmail so I am
not sure how the permissions are getting changed so often.
