I have a cron job running as root, which calls sa-update it warns about unsafe ownership ----------------------------------------------------
gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir `/var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys' ---------------------------------------------------- this is my current ownership ls -la /var/lib/spamassassin/sa-update-keys total 16 drwx------ 2 spamd root 4096 Jun 20 2017 . drwxr-xr-x 7 spamd spamd 4096 Nov 22 2018 .. -rwx------ 1 spamd root 2783 Jun 20 2017 pubring.gpg -rwx------ 1 spamd root 0 Jun 20 2017 pubring.gpg~ -rwx------ 1 spamd root 0 Jun 20 2017 secring.gpg -rwx------ 1 spamd root 1200 Jun 20 2017 trustdb.gpg ---------------------------------------------------- I've read that the ownership should be root, so does having the owner = spamd, and the group = root, causing that warning? I thought having group = root would fix any ownership issues. I cannot recall now, why I set owner to spamd. maybe spamd could not read the gpg keys when trying an update before? ---------------------------------------------------- Should I chown the folders and files to be root : root ?
