Re: Upgrade spamassassin from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 breaks amavis

[Xavier Humbert]

Hi Harald,

I do use packages (/usr/local is the base dir for packages in FreeBSD)
And, while I run amavisd as root, I should not been hit by permission 
issues.

Regards,

Xavier

what do you not understand in "Permission denied"

when you are manually dancing around in /usr/local instead using 
packages learn about chown / chgrp / chmod
