I'm seeing in my maillog file (SA 3.x running in Debug mode) the following:

cannot write to /root/.spamassassin/bayes_journal, Bayes db update ignored:
Permission denied

This is right after all the bayes token statements. It suggests it's a
problem, but I don't seem to be able to fix it.

My default bayes location is /root/.spamassassin and I've tried making
permissions on it wide open (777). The files in it are:

-rw-------  1 root root   618496 Jan 28 13:26 auto-whitelist
-rw-------  1 root root  1323008 Jan 28 14:05 bayes_seen
-rw-------  1 root root 10489856 Jan 28 14:05 bayes_toks
-rw-r--r--  1 root root     1313 Jan 28 13:26 user_prefs

And spam assassin is being started with 

service spamassassin start (via root) 

So I'm a little lost as to why this error would be coming up. Any
suggestions?

As I said, I'm not sure this is actually a problem, but it does suggest that
the bayes DB's are not being updated.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Chris
