Thanks for the help and reply, but I still am unable to run spamc without having the SUID bit set. I created a user and group spamd and added the following to my start scipt:
spamd -d -a -c -u spamd -D and still nothing. I put the nessary files in /etc/mail/spamassassin and changed ownership. When I ran spamassassin -D <sample-spam.txt it found everything fine, but when I try to send to my test mail account it hung on exicuting spamc. I can not issue the command on my test account, because it is an email only account with no shell. Also from another reply, when I add -u root to my start script, it does not start. Any other suggestion would be great, --Keith On Mon, 26 Jan 2004, Alex S Moore wrote: I also run SA with sendmail (Sun's version) and procmail on Solaris 9. The following may help. Create a user for SA. I created spamd and group. Assuming your site config path is /etc/mail/spamassassin: Change the startup script to add '-u spamd'. This script must be started by root. Move the bayes files that root has been using, in /.spamassassin to the /etc/mail/spamassassin directory. Change the directory and all files ownership for /etc/mail/spamassassin to spamd:spamd. In your local.cf file in etc/mail/spamassassin, change or add the following: # Enable system wide Bayes database bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes Run spamassassin -D <sample-spam.txt Verify the part, near the top of the output, for default and site rules, user state dir, user pref file and the location of bayes. If it all looks good, then after restarting spamd using the root account, you're laughing.
