Are the servers all the same distro, release and version?
Are they all up to date (or at least, all equally up to date as each
other)?
No - there are definitely variations in kernel versions and other
software versions. So far I have only made sure the SA version is the
same. Any possible culprit comes to mind in terms of a certain
library or software that might cause this?
The thing that always comes to mind when I see strange permission
problems is selinux. If you have it active, check to see if selinux
is blocking access to the file for some reason.
I'm on Slackware without selinux. I'm not even convinced it is a
permission problem at all. If I restrict the permissions of the files on
purpose, it actually reports:
bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/spamd/bayes/bayes_* R/W:
tie failed: Permission denied
But if I reset them to correct permissions, I get:
bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/spamd/bayes/bayes_* R/W:
tie failed: No such file or directory
That doesn't make sense. To me it looks like it doesn't like something
about the content of those files, but is reporting missing files instead
of what the real problem is.
