Greetings all; I _thought_ I had sa-update running ok, but it seemed that the effectiveness was stagnant, so I found the cron entry that was running as-update & discovered a syntax error there, which when I fixed it, disclosed that I had all sorts of perms problems that I don't seem to be able to fix readily.
sa-update is being run as the user saupdate, which is a member of the group mail. I have made the whole /var/lib/spamassassin/keys tree an saupdate:mail, with very limited rights as in: drw------- 2 saupdate mail 4096 2008-12-19 16:05 keys But sa-update appears not to have perms to access or create gpg keys there. -------------------------- [r...@coyote init.d]# su saupdate -c "/usr/bin/sa-update --gpghomedir /var/lib/spamassassin/keys" gpg: failed to create temporary file `/var/lib/spamassassin/keys/.#lk0xb9bfb8a8.coyote.coyote.den.8955': Permission denied -------------------------- What do I need to open that up to? Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
