oops. At the very least this should be
drwx------ 2 root root 176 May 14 04:02 junkbuster/
so you need to do 'chmod 700 junkbuster', as a minimum.

There's the problem. user nobody needs to be able to get TO junkbuster/junkbuster.
One way to do that is to 'chmod 711 /var/log/junkbuster' (I think its 711),
hopefully you won't have to chmod 755 it! However, I think this and the
next thing will involve different changes, so:
Also, you may not want junkbuster running as nobody. I don't remember exactly
what the instructions said, but I'm sure someone here on the list can pass that
along...
And your changes for making nobody have access :-) to the log will be different
than what you'd do to make junkbuster not run as nobody.... So I'd shoot for
changing userid of junkbuster - assuming others here have real info about
what the install instructions said (shoot - you could probably go look too ;-)
