If you look at the following output of "top" you will see that some spamd processes runs under the ownership of "spamd" and others under "root". I would like to know why?
16930 root 9 0 37908 37M 16548 S 18.7 0.9 0:10 spamd 16927 root 11 0 83720 81M 16296 S 10.7 2.1 0:28 spamd 16929 spamd 10 0 74332 72M 16404 S 6.7 1.9 0:22 spamd 16931 spamd 9 0 38288 37M 16540 S 4.9 0.9 0:07 spamd 16928 spamd 9 0 42340 41M 16364 S 3.5 1.0 0:13 spamd
I have in /etc/init.d/spamassassin:
NAME=spamd SNAME=spamassassin DESC="SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon" PIDFILE="/var/run/$NAME.pid" PNAME="spamd"
There was a thread on the mailing list about that a couple weeks ago, but it was in relation to *BSD, not Linux. On my FreeBSD systems, the patch that was supplied for 3.0.2 fixed it, and it was fixed natively for 3.0.3.
