1. What is the best method for running spamd as a non-root user?
I am using this command to launch spamd:
/usr/bin/spamd --daemonize --username sa-run \ --pidfile /var/run/spamd.pid
It launches OK, but the output of "sa-learn -D --sync" (below) suggests that SA is still looking in /root for user_prefs.
What I'm looking to do is have systemwide preferences run out of the /home/sa-run/.spamassassin directory. I have set up that directory and copied user_prefs and the bayes files from my .spamassassin directory.
2. Same question as (1) for startup -- what modifications are needed to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sa-spamd.sh to launch SA as non-root user on startup?
This is on SA 3.0.1_2 on FreeBSD 5.2.1.
thanks
