I have no idea what you refer to when you state "don't user proper
packages". "Proper" in what sense? A rhetorical question.
i have no idea how you installed SA but rpm packages or debs usually
have correct permissions
Oh, of course. I installed as root initially, being foolish perhaps,
but did create a specific user "later" and adjusted permissions as
needed. Or, so I thought.
Mlocate is (was) not installed in this particular system but promises
to be useful in the future, regardless of your intent. "find" has
always been my go to tool. Such as it is.
Still it remains to be determined why root user can run sa-learn
without error while another whose permissions are more constrained,
cannot.
And that, regardless of root (!) cause, would seem to be an SA topic
because the file permissions are obviously wrong which isn't a SA topic
- SA can't do anything when you mess your local permissions
Permissions are (almost) certainly the issue. Now having the impressive
locate/mlocate creature at my command, I might actually make progress.
Thanks for the help.
