--- Begin Message ---Package: spamassassin Version: 3.1.0a-2 Severity: normal Hi, I run spamassassin with the following command line: spamd -c -H -m 2 -i 0.0.0.0 -A some-ips --syslog-socket=unix Both local and remote users use spamc -f in their .procmailrc to have their mail filtered. auto-whitelisting is turned on. Sometimes (often), the following happens: 2006-03-24 03:31:30.188563500 [13731] info: spamd: connection from remoteclient [192.168.0.15] at port 49250 2006-03-24 03:31:36.071642500 [13731] info: spamd: handle_user unable to find user: remoteuser 2006-03-24 03:31:36.649337500 [13731] warn: spamd: still running as root: user not specified with -u, not found, or set to root, falling back to nobody at /usr/sbin/spamd line 1150, <GEN662> line 4. 2006-03-24 03:31:43.034921500 [13731] info: spamd: processing message <message_id> for remoteuser:65534 2006-03-24 03:32:35.643921500 [13731] error: locker: safe_lock: cannot create lockfile /home/localuser/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex: Permission denied 2006-03-24 03:32:35.694168500 [13731] warn: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create lockfile /home/localuser/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.mutex: Permission denied 2006-03-24 03:32:35.765700500 [13731] error: Can't call method "finish" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/AWL.pm line 397. 2006-03-24 03:32:36.920501500 [13731] info: spamd: clean message (0.0/5.0) for elan:65534 in 67.3 seconds, 4017 bytes. 2006-03-24 03:32:36.932078500 [13731] info: spamd: result: . 0 - scantime=67.3,size=4017,user=remoteuser,uid=65534,required_score=5.0,rhost=remoteclient,raddr=192.168.0.15,rport=49250,mid=<message_id>,autolearn=no The username of remoteuser doesn't exist locally, so spamd is right in falling back to nobody. However, it shouldn't try to fiddle with the auto-whitelist settings of localuser (incidentally, one of the local users who also use spamc -f). Could it be that spamd somehow unintentionally remembers the location of the last auto-whitelist file it updated, and only changes this value if the specified local username exists, but not on falling back to the nobody user?
