I seem to be at a loss.  I have installed SA 3.0.4 on two identical
machines.  Both machines are running CentOS4.1.  Other software loaded would
include:

Sendmail 8-13.4-1 (from src rpm)
Clamav 0-86 (tar file)
MailScanner 4.44.1-1 (tar)
MailWatch 1.0.1 (tar)
phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-pl1 (tar)
Webmin 1.210 (tar)

Both machines run smooth, but when I was trying to figure out what is
getting AutoWhite listed, I found that "box2" did not have:

/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex

"box1" does have:
/root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist

"Box1" and "Box2" are being built to replace a MailScanner system already in
use.  Upon review of this system, I can see I will run into issues if I
cannot check what is being auto-whitelisted.  I do find it strange that I
installed SA the same way on both machines and have different results.  I
tried to uninstall SA from "Box 2" by using this command:

rpm -e spamassassin

I am not sure if this is the best way to uninstall SA, but I do not know of
another.  I then reinstalled it two ways:

1. rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4.tar.gz
   cd to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386

These three files are in this directory
   perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm
   spamassassin-tools-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm
   spamassassin-3.0.4-1.i386.rpm

I installed the files (first my moving the tools rpm to another directory
and then moving it back and installing it separately)

2. Through untar, I cd to the Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4 directory and
installed via the INSTALL file instructions.

Both ways to install were successful, but I was still unable to see any of
the files I was looking for.  I would appreciate any feedback on what I am
doing wrong and any other approaches I can take to resolve this problem.
