2011-03-05 Thread meino . cramer
Hi, currently I am unsure, whether it is possible to update the bayes-database of spamd/spamassassin as user mccramer while spamd/spamassassin is running under user nobody:nobody AND assign the database rw-rights for nobody:nobody only. Nobody has neither the right to login nor a home directory.
