Greetings.
I'm running spamd 3.2.4 alongside my stock Qmail installation (passing
messages over ip sockets via the qmail-queue patch) on Ubuntu 8.04. Because
this is a site-wide config, in previous distros I'd been able to
successfully get both the "parent" spamd process and the spamd child to
switch uid/gid to the 'spamd' user. Kicking off spamd in the same manner:
/usr/sbin/spamd -d -P -x -u spamd -m 1 -p 1783 -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid
-s /var/log/spamd/current -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
I get (from ps aux):
root 23342 2.1 7.7 31240 28704 ? Ss 14:59 0:00
/usr/sbin/spamd {snip}
spamd 23347 0.0 7.4 31240 27308 ? S 14:59 0:00 spamd child
and from lsof -i:
spamd 23342 root 5u IPv4 67329 TCP localhost:1783
(LISTEN)
spamd 23347 spamd 5u IPv4 67329 TCP localhost:1783
(LISTEN)
So one's stepped down but the other has not. In previous distros based on
SA 3.0.4 and an identical Qmail config I'd successfully managed to get both
processes to run as spamd. Does anyone have any idea why I can't manage the
same here?
Thanks very much.
Armen
