In SA 3.0, the children will pre-fork, idle as root, then it should setuid to nobody when a spamc connects.
They will then bail back out of that setuid when they are done scanning, so you will generally see them running as root, but only when they are idle.
Disclaimer: I've not tested this, but it is the theory of operation that SA 3.0 was designed to, and what you show me above does not disprove that theory.
Hi,
No, they keep running as root all the time.
98160 root 62 0 49992K 41208K RUN 0:09 18.49% 17.53% perl5.8.2
It's a large bug here that affects the permissions of the bayes_journal file etc since it gets owned by root instead of the -u user on the spamd command line.

Rick
