hi again sidney,

and if so, did you give it a home directory?
no, purposefully.
See the man doc on the -H option, which might do what you need and also
explains a reason for needing a home directory even without reading user
prefs.

i'd tried setting an alternative directory for any given user i was exec'ing at with the -H option ... to no avail. same complaint :-S

it seems that no matter what -H is set to, that at least "auto-whitelist" & "auto-whitelist.mutex" need/want to be in the 'default' user home_dir (/var/root, /Users/username, etc).

i'm a bit confused by the man_page, tho ...

for the "-H" option it sez:

   "Specify that external programs ..."
                  ^^^^^

rather than SA itself.

so, my question -- which i suppose i ferret out by iteration -- is, which specific directory does one specify?

i'm assuming for now that it's the PARENT of ".spamassassin/" .... no?

thx,

richard
