I'm -1 on this, personally. IMO it's up to whoever runs sb_server.py (or any of the other SpamBayes scripts) to decide what user should run it. What if a user wants to run it as root?

It sounds like what you actually want is a sb_daemon.py script that lowers privileges and launches sb_server.py (something like the pop3proxy_tray.py and pop3proxy_service.py scripts for Windows). Not everyone wants sb_server to run as a daemon. =Tony.Meyer _______________________________________________ spambayes-dev mailing list spambayes-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes-dev
