Dirk, I adjusted the rights as follows in /etc/mail/spamassassin: drw-rw-rw- 3 root root 352 Feb 5 17:04 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 80 Jul 13 2005 .. drw-rw-rw- 2 root users 48 Nov 29 15:15 bayes -rw------- 1 root root 60 Feb 5 07:54 bayes.lock -rw-rw-rw- 1 root users 1.2M Feb 4 17:56 bayes_seen -rw-rw-rw- 1 root users 5.3M Feb 5 07:54 bayes_toks -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5.3M Feb 4 17:38 bayes_toks.expire8083 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23 Dec 13 09:23 check_rules -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 935 Mar 19 2005 init.pre -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2.9K Feb 5 17:18 local.cf -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1.1K Dec 13 08:59 local.cf.bak -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 451 Mar 19 2005 local.cf~
For bayes, bayes_seen, and bayes_toks I did "chgrp users" + file name.
